Hi jnet1589,
Nice to meet you.

I have had pains in my calves, I call them Charlie Horse like pains. I had them prior to the LDN, which I only started two days ago at 1.5 mg.

When I don't walk enough, and then go shopping and do a lot of walking, I get them. If I am sleeping and stretch to hard the leg, I have to jump out of bed with the cramp.

Sometimes it is lack of salt or potassium in the diet. Others get it from lack of calcium and carbs. I also get toe cramps when I walk too much after being lazy and not moving enough. They really hurt.

Maybe these ideas will help you. Your calves aren't hot, red or swollen are they? Must watch out for blood clots or DVT at anytime you have leg pain.

I would call the doctor if it was something new for you. Good luck
Lady
