: I get very severe cramps on the outter parts of my lower legs when I walk any distance. It feels like the tendons are being twisted and pulled. I have tried stretching exercises, several different pairs of shoes, arch supports and physical therapy. Nothing helps. The doctor says I am too young to have it caused by circulation problems. Any ideas? or suggestions? Thanks.

sounds like shes having severe muscle spasms that could come from any type of problem in the brain she needsto see a neuroligist and be evaluated there is treatment that does work for this condition she mighthave to try a couple of things to get to that point first i also have severe muscle spasms i did let it go until i had contratures and was just about screaming all the time from the pain also they do get worse without treatment mind got so bad i almost was unable to walk treatment is very inportant in this condition early it will preventmany problems also streaching and the exercise is not the cause it starts in the brain anso no exercise program will work if she wont see a neurologist at the very least get her to see a doctor that deals with the muscles or a physiophysicam wish you well this is a hard didease to get to understand
