The only relief I could get was stretching my body out and soaking in hot water, I got extremely cold and chilling. It lasted about 30 mins. still feel achy however not as severe. My calf muscles are jumping constantly. I take Lisinopril, Cymbalta, the only new medication is a antibiotic, decongestant, and water pill. Any ideas, should I go to emergency room?
