Has anybody else gotten leg-cramps or shin splints as part of their withdrawal from nicotine?
I have been woken up by the worst cramps in my calves for the last couple of weeks.
I am tempted to chalk every tiny complaint to having quit smoking. Nicotine's reach was wide and deep.
This could be something completely unrelated or it could be a brain tumor. Y'know?

I’ve gotten really bad Charlie horses, but I’m also hypothyroid. They seem a lot worse since I’ve quit tho. None of my docs have said they think it is from the quit. I’ve just started chualk up a lot of things to it that I never felt before as nicotine had such a strangle hold on so much of the body. Unlikely a brain tumor. More likely not enough magnesium or potassium and our absorption changes when quitting. Check with your doc. Maybe they will be helpful.
