Default muscle cramps

Hi,
I had a posterior 5 level cervical laminectomy with fusion and instrumentation in Dec '13. For the past couple of months, I have been having cramps in my hands, legs and feet. Mostly in my hands though. Whenever I try to do something such as open a bottle of soda, or open a letter, my hand will cramp severely. Same goes with my legs. Anyone here have this experience? My surgeon wants to do a CT to check for hardware failure, but its so darn expensive and I've been out of work since September of last year so funds are limited. I have had my calcium and potassium checked cause that was the first thing that I thought of and both were normal. Anyone here experience this type of thing? Also, I have palsy of the ring and small finger of my right hand from surgery.
