Hello,
My husband has just been diagnosed with primary bowel cancer with multiple liver metastases, both lungs, peritoneum, lymph and with some bone involvement (though no visible lesions). So a lot all at once. His main symptoms have been fatigue, right sided pain, breathlessness and digestive issues. He's lost a few lbs and his appetite is a little bit reduced, but otherwise looks very healthy.
In recent weeks/months, he's experienced more regular leg cramps (which he's not experienced since his football years 20 years ago), even when he hasn't walked that far. This has included cramp in the front of his leg/shin and when he touches it, he experiences a popping sensation. He's not embarked on any cancer treatment yet (we await a colonoscopy and biopsy before any can be decided), but I have read that cancer itself can sometimes cause cramps.
Has anyone else experienced similar? I'm wondering if anything in particular helps.
Thank you.
