Severe muscle cramps

I have Fibro and have been experiencing SEVERE muscle cramps in my inner thighs.  They are so severe that they will make me cry and can sometimes last 20-30 minutes.  They will actually ebb and flow like a contraction but never stop...just increase in intensity to the point of making you want to pass out. My doctor put checked my postassium, magnesium, etc. levels and they were fine. Has anyone had any experience with these type of cramps?

I get these muscle cramps, but in my arms.  I know exactly what you mean and how excruicating it is!!!  I literally will take my knuckles and dig into my arms.  I know it sounds nuts and my husband looks at me like I am, but it is the only thing that helps, although technically, it really doesn't.  Those are the days the pain meds are maxed out!
I have also had my electrolite levels all checked and they were -surprise- normal.  
I agree that the pain is intense even to make you feel like passing out.  I guess I can't offer any real help other than acknowleding your pain, it is real and it's awful...

try heat on them it lets it relax and also look into muscle relaxers from your Dr for when these spells hit..........they hit me in spells anyway and then I don't have them for months/!
