walking problem

[em99]

It all started 3 months ago when i had really bad cramps in my calf muscles. I felt as if my muscles where tight all the time, then i would feel like i had ran miles in both my calf and thigh muscles. I have shooting pain in both my legs, tingling sentations, and muscle spams. But my main concern is my walking. When i walk the only way i can describe it is: when i walk and put weight on my leg it snaps back at the knee, like i have no spring for it to relax back.
I have had a mri scan of my lower back and NCS and EMG test but the mri scan no results back as yet and the NCS and EMG showed nothing.
Its very worrying and distressing as i am off work because of the difficulty walking,
Does anyone have any answers or had any of the walking symptoms?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!

This looks like electrolyte imbalance involving sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride. Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 deficiency should also be looked into. You may need to run blood tests for the above mentioned deficiencies.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Have you had your potassium level checked lately?  I would start there to make sure that you are not very low on potassium.
