Hi, Sylv. Welcome.

Well, the first thing to do is to figure out why you are having leg cramps! Since you're posting here, I assume you have MG. If it's from the MG, massaging the leg muscles does help.

There are a lot of things that can cause leg cramps, including thyroid imbalance, electrolyte imbalance, peripheral artery disease, etc. It's best to go see your primary doctor and see if it's something other than MG causing it.

Heat is not usually good for MG but if you put some warm compresses on the legs, that will help - in addition to the massages.

Seriously, it's always best to figure out the "why" of a new symptom before fixing it. I hope you can figure it out because leg cramps are just awful!

Annie
