Buttocks going into spasms and cramping along with the backs of my legs and unable to move for a while and then I have to lie down on my stomach and just totally relax
Hi 63dgbparki,
Those symptoms certainly don’t seem to be PD symptoms.
I know everyone experiences different things, but those do seem way out of the ordinary.
It honestly seems like bad muscle cramps.
Have you tried taking potassium tablets?
I do know the common misconception is that muscle cramps are due to a lack of salt.
I am a scuba dive master and know that it is the lack of potassium that can cause them.
Remember if you are 15-35 meters under the sea, one of the worst things that can happen to you is cramping up.
I always tell my students to make sure they have had bananas a few days before the dive.
Bananas are not only a rich source of potassium but are gram for gram, one of the most nutritious foods in the world.
Tot can maybe give you further info on this.
