Question:
My dad got a horrible leg cramp this morning and it wouldnt go away!?
He gets those horrible leg cramps now and then... the worse one he got made him faint..it was horrible!! i was there trying to hold his leg and he fainted with his eyes rolling over...that was horrible...we took him to EM and he done tests on him and everything came out "normal" they suck!! I was researching something today and i read about Claudication can he have it? he gets the cramps in the upper part of his legs...thanks!!
Claudication
Answers:
He could, but it doesn't much sound like Claudication. If the cramps are in his left leg, it may be signs of a coming heart attack. If he has been having these you should IMMEDIATELY bring him to the hospital, as the heart attacks usually occur about a day or two from the cramp. If not, it may just be arthritis. Hope this helps!!
