Interesting! I get those cramps too, in my lower legs and sometimes even in my thighs! I thought it's lack of Magnesium, so started taking that but so far no change... Maybe I should try high heels instead of the silly magnesium pills! A lot more enticing than the pills for sure! Will check with my (new) Oncologist whom I should meet end of April (old one went on mat leave...) to see whether he has heard of this before.
