Q: 

I have been having leg cramps lately. Sometimes it is in both thighs and sometimes it is all over both legs. I can walk fine some days, and the next I'm in a wheelchair. Please help. I'm a 2 time cancer survivor

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You may have a severe vitamin deficiency, especially B vitamins. Vitamin B vitamin shots may help if you are deficient. You may need a blood panel done. You could also be quite dehydrated - this can also cause cramps.
But if these cramps leave you in a wheel chair at times, it's definitely time to call your doctor.
Best,
Susan
