I was diagnosed 4 years ago from salmonella poisoning. Every monthe I feel like I develop some new symptom. Now I have started having leg cramps that start in my feet and go up my shin or calf. I take my vitamins, try to eat better. Has anyone else experiencedo this? They are like a charlie horse, but they take forever to stop. I have to get up and walk around when I can. Any input would be helpful.

Hi there.
Nurse here.
It would not be typical for Reactive arthritis to develop 4 years after your infection, but occationally it happens.
Legcramps are not typical for ReA either.
Usually this condition starts with urethritis in men, followed by arthritis (pain and inflammation in one or several joints), or inflammation in the cervix followed by arthritis in women.
Both sexes might develop symptoms from the eyes as well (if they have a special subform of ReA often called Reiter's syndrome that presents with a triad of symptoms from the eyes, the joints and the genitals).
