Does Anyone Else Get Muscle Cramps? Leg Cramps?

For me, leg cramps started about ten years ago. Long story short, I had been on a trial of Cymbalta for 90 days back when it was thought Cymbalta could help with chronic pain. It did nothing for me but make it almost impossible to stop taking the medication. I went into Cymbalta Withdrawal Syndrome, took 18 months to stop taking the medication and involved crippling leg cramps.

Now, when I get a certain kind of migraine, usually weather triggered, I get the same crippling leg cramps. Heating pads help with the pain during the day and ice packs at night but that's when I'm sitting still keeping them on my legs. Walking is extremely difficult. In fact, today I'm using a walker my left leg is so painful.

Muscle relaxants work only because they knock me out. You feel very little pain when you're sleeping 16+ hours a day. I'm wondering if other people have muscle cramp problems and what they've done to try and help them.
