Priya Saxena, a 42-year-old accountant and mother of two, had been experiencing severe, recurrent nocturnal leg cramps for six months. The painful spasms in her calves would jolt her awake 3-4 times a week, leaving her exhausted and irritable. She had tried over-the-counter magnesium supplements, hydration, and stretching with little relief. Her primary care physician in Internal Medicine, Dr. Chen, listened empathetically to her fatigue and frustration. After ruling out electrolyte imbalances and medication side effects, Dr. Chen recommended a structured treatment plan: prescription-strength magnesium oxide, a targeted hydration protocol, and a referral to physical therapy for guided stretching and strengthening exercises. Priya was diligent, following the plan and keeping a symptom diary. After four weeks, the frequency of cramps reduced to once a week, and their intensity diminished significantly. Emotionally, Priya moved from feeling defeated and chronically tired to regaining a sense of control over her body and her sleep. The return of restful nights restored her energy for her family and work.
