Leg cramps
« on: May 29, 2020, 07:54:42 AM »
Hey Lady's.

      Does anyone have trouble with severe leg cramps whilst on Estradiol? I've been on patches for nearly 4 weeks now and the last week my left leg is in agony, is this normal or should I speak to my GP? Thanks for any advice xx

Does it say in the leaflet in the box?

Generally muscle cramps is due to low salt intake.  I would ring my Pharmacy to ask the question.

Cassie,

I agree.  Magnesium supplements solved my leg cramps.

HTH,

If the pain is constant and agony you should ring your GP or Pharmacist.
