Yup, my calves are almost always my most painful muscles. Topical magnesium makes a huge difference (I try to use it before bed and first thing in the morning). Theraworx brand foam works the best for me (but you can also just dissolve magnesium chloride flakes in warm water and make your own for cheaper, it just tends to sting if you use it on freshly shaved skin since it's a salt). I take an oral magnesium supplement too but I haven't seen much of a difference since starting it, topical magnesium is much more effective for me. I hope you can find some relief.
@A MyFibroTeam Member good suggestion from the PT.
I take it half dose of electrolytes daily and no longer have muscle spasms in my calves.
