The vitamin deficiencies may cause some of the problems....but they also hamper repair, that our bodies do when damage from the environment occurs. B12 and folate help repair myelin which insulates the nerve axons. Fish oil provides the fatty acids for this.

Magnesium tempers the NMDA pain receptors, and relaxes muscles.
Vit D has some effects on chronic pain, and the immune system.

So it can be a mixture of both.... but I tend to think repair is the main function for most of the nutrients.

You can try some of the magnesium lotion...which is quite miraculous IMO.

Morton Epsom Lotion--

Also at WalMart locally at most locations. Once a day on cramping muscles or targeted areas of pain/or the feet works.
Only a quarter's dollop sized amount is usually all that is needed.
