I am 7 years out of surgery (mechanical aortic and mitral valves). In the last year I've experienced several instances of severe leg cramping. These muscle spasms are super intense. I've come to call them a "super Charlie horse". Ive always associated them with bouts where I might of exercised too much, but the last one lasted for about 10-15 minutes, involved my psoas muscle but I have fallen off my exercise and hadn't done any type of strenuous exercise in about 3 weeks... then half way through the spasm one of my hamstrings decided to join in... so I had multiple leg spasms on opposite sides going at the same time. So painful.
I've considered electrolyte imbalances. I take1000mg magnesium nightly (after reading in this forum I plan on adding a banana a day and calcium.
However, I did a simple websearch and came across something that said this might be a side effect of taking warfarin for 7 years.
Has anyone else experienced this?
