Alpha Mule Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) YUp! Get down to Asda and get some magnesium from the vitamins isle. might take a day or two, but it sorts it completely. [edit] it also helps kids with 'growing pains' Edited September 21, 2017 by Alpha Mule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Want to hear something crazy - get a bar of soap and put it under the mattress - far corner nearest your leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigman Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 What's the science behind the soap idea buddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 My wife has bouts of this and hers kick like mad, usually wakes me up when I get kicked. Like a nerve firing the muscle off she couldn't kick that quick no matter how hard she tried. Her legs jump likeyou stuck a pin in her foot. Luckily it's not all the time. Can your doctor not give you something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnut Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Foxhunter1 Had restless leg syndrome for 20+ years, and I for one can understand what your going through, this was also followed by morning cramps, mostly in the calfs. had many visits too the doctors over the years, but no cure until recently, had a full blood test for another illness, and the result was I was anemic, I was eating the right food but was not absorbing iron into my long bones, prescribed FERROUS SULFATE 200mg plus FOLIC ACID 5mg and a magnesium tablet, but you can get all the magnesium you need from a daily banana, has they are loaded with magnesium. Restless legs, stopped in one day, and have not come back, so have the morning cramps, although I do a few calf stretching exercises has well, this is solid advice my friend, get yourself checked out, and don't get fobbed off with the same answers I have had over the years, that there's no cure for RLS. good luck, let me know how you get on, through these pages.

Alpha Mule Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Also suffered for years with restless legs at night and would wake at silly o'clock in the morning with cramps. Cramps hard enough that the muscles still ache into the following night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I used to get night cramps all the time in my legs. About 6 months ago I swapped to using LoSalt as have slightly raised blood pressure and want to avoid going on tablets for it. Since then have not had night cramps. I don't know if the higher levels of potassium have helped in LoSalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirDread Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 My brother had this pretty badly and after seeing his doctor was told to cut right down on the amount of coffee he drank which he didn't feel was a massive amount in the first place. So now he has no more than 2 cups in a day and the problem has completely gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
