Which department for leg cramps

Patients with leg cramps can be registered with an emergency department, or an orthopedic department. If the patient is currently having an attack, he or she should go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital as soon as possible with the assistance of a family member. Upon arrival at the emergency department, the patient should explain his or her current condition to the nurse, who will direct the patient to the appropriate room as quickly as possible and treat him or her as necessary, since cramps are very painful when they strike, and such patients are treated first on the principle of emergency priority. If the cramps have been relieved and the patient had some paroxysmal cramps before, it is recommended to go to the orthopedic department. After arriving at the orthopedic department, the doctor will treat the patient according to the specific cause of the cramps, such as cold, overexertion, electrolyte disorder or osteoporosis, which can relieve the current symptoms of muscle cramps and treat the cause.
