Really bad leg cramps?

[Wibbit]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else is getting bad leg cramps at night? It's the most painful thing I've ever experienced... So far! It's keeping me up at night and seems to be a bit random. I've tried magnesium, calcium, drinking lots of water, bananas, tonic water, salty baths. Thought increased calcium intake was working but last night was so bad . Dr says they can't do anything... Any ideas or just someone to talk to are both appreciated!

Thanks

Iv had leg cramping a couple of times at night, and each time has been agonising. Nothing helps me when I get it, I just try to drift off to sleep and when I wake up its gone again!! I'm just thankful I dont get it too often!! Hope it improves for you soon!!! xx

Yeah I had really bad ones where I couldn't even sleep on one side, I even complained to the doctor they did nothing then I used the Bell's muscle rub which is mostly natural ingredients and it all went away, I was sooo happy

I've had a lot of leg cramps the last few weeks, the ones on the back of my calves are the most painful and always happen when I'm in bed. It's normal in pregnancy. x
