Muscle cramps
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi I am in the process of getting deironed. I have phlebotomies every two weeks. I've noticed after this recent phleb that I have a crazy calf cramp that's hanging around and more shoulder joints pains and muscle pains than usual. Anyone else getting muscle cramps through this process?? Thanks so much.

Yes, I get calf cramps, also pins and needles in my feet. Like you I have vs every two weeks down from 960 to 438. Not worried though. Take care

Did you not have these pains before venesections? Joint and muscle pain are common symptoms of haemochromatosis.
I had all these and cramps before I was diagnosed and before venesections. Even though I am now de-ironed (27 years) later, they are still a feature of my life.
