What causes sharp pain in the calf and ankle and tremors?
Patient: I am waking up with a sharp pain in my calf and/or ankle (it s like a cramp) and then I shake violently. I am totally conscious and alert so I know it s not a seizure..No doctor can dx it because I cannot reproduce it. My health dxs are kidney failure stage 4, diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia....Any ideas? Doctor: hithank you for providing the brief history of you.A thorough musculoskeletal assessment and neuromuscular assessment is advised.As you have the medical history of kidney failure stage 4, diabetes and hypothyroidism the reaction of tremor you are facing is because of the combination of the above. Due to the above contions there is a disruption in the neuromuscular channelling and leading to tremor, twitching, fatigue, cramps etc. The pathology is deep to understand and the nerve gets disruption in the signalling leading to the symptoms.Undergoing physical therapy for the same will help you correct the neuromuscular imbalance.In my clinical practice I see cases with such complains and they all respond well to physical therapy.RegardsJay Indravadan Patel
