Patient's question:
When the calf muscles become hard, they ache like cramps, especially when sleeping at night. This situation was particularly prominent when I was 13 or 14 years old, and for a while, I was often woken up by the pain in the middle of the night. Now that I'm 22, although it's not as severe as before, the muscles still hurt if they are slightly strained.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the analysis of the situation you provided, I believe it is still caused by calcium deficiency. When you say your legs are stiff and painful with cramps, it is due to the increased muscle excitability caused by calcium deficiency in the body. Calcium deficiency can also lead to disorders in bone growth, so you won't grow. Perhaps these conditions already existed at that time. However, he did not notice this, so he is not healthy now, but there is no way to change it. As for the leg pain, the main thing is to supplement calcium. You might have a problem with calcium absorption. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to identify the issue and receive better treatment. The above is related to "calf muscle pain and precocious puberty"? Hope it helps you, and wish you good health.
