I've been having mussel cramping lately. First in my arms, then calfs. Now my toes, butt, groin and even the mussel under my chin. Three weeks ago my doctor told me it was just arthritis, take Tylonol. This is not arthritis. It's been going on for six weeks now and if I don't figure it out soon I'm going to lose my job because I can't perform.

Are you on any special medications. Can you better describe this muscel cramping. Are there areas of the body that are tender or sore to touch when this occurs. any physical injuries or contact with any checmicals at work or elsewhere. I can better assist with these questions.

I quit smoking after 43 yrs because I couldn't breath. My oxygen level was down to 30%. since I got out of the hospital I've been on Advair twice a day and Spiriva once a day. I was also but on Furosemide for swollen feet (water retension)That's it.

So I would assume you have COPD and are you on oxygen now. When did you get out of the hospital also.

No, I'm no longer on oxygen, just Advair twice a day and Spriva once a day. I got out of the hospital on April 3rd.
