I keep getting painful muscle cramps. Why? Side of torso, hands, feet, calf's and today in my thigh!!! They are sporadic but very unpleasant. What causes this? I'm wondering if this is some sort of long term effect after chemo. I may even have asked this question before but can't recall the answer. It's really starting to concern me. Any thoughts. Should I be seeing my GP? Oncologist? Or is it a sign of aging and nothing to do with cancer. It's getting to the point where I would very much like to find a way to make it stop.
