Leg Cramps

[sunnyday]

Is anyone else suffering with leg cramps? I get these when I first wake up, in my calf muscles. Its been bearable until now, just a twinge which I can stretch out. However the last couple of times they have been really painful, and leaves my calf muscles aching for days.

Anyone have any remedies?

I get cramp really bad and my leg aches for days too afterwards.

I used to drink the Tonic water and it does work - think I really should buy some more and start having a glass before bed again.

When you get cramp pull you toes up towards your leg it eases it quickly.

bananas before bed can really help because they have potassium in, and i think its low patassium that causes leg cramps at night??
i *think!*

I've heard that too- not tried it though because Bananas are one of the worst things for giving me heartburn.

i've only just started getting cramps at night

I thought i'd escaped them this time, but the last 3 nights, there they are, waking me up in agony ....

Same with the heartburn actually. I had terrible heartburn with beth, and this time i though "way-hey, aint been too bad!" but now its coming to get me........
