Leg cramps?

Question

My legs cramp up so bad in the middle of the night. I eat a banana and drink a bottle of water before bed, but that isn't helping. It hurts for days after, to the point where I don't even want to get out of bed and walk. Anyone have any advice?

Answer

Drink a Gatorade and make sure you're taking your prenatals. I also got some liquid calcium with magnesium from my local health food store.

Answer

I was getting them pretty regularly and severely, and I noticed that I got them more frequently if I didn't exercise (walk) much during the day. My doctor also has me on an additional magnesium supplement at night. I drink between 70-80 oz of water a day and eat a banana every day (doctor said that should be plenty of potassium). They have reduced dramatically and when I do get them now I use my foam roller and stretch out the muscle. Of course, this is what works for me and you should ask your doctor what they recommend for you. Good Luck! 😊

Answer

I had the same issue. My doctor recommended that I take a magnesium vitamin every night before I go to bed and it helps a ton.

Answer

Since the banana isn't helping, you're probably low on magnesium. Also, keep track of how much water you drink, you should be drinking at least 64oz every day. Good luck!

Answer

I'm not sure where in the world you are but I also suffer this BAD!!  I was advised to try drinking Indian tonic water... Worked for me 😉

Answer

I did everything from diet to magnesium and exercise and nothing worked. I put two pillows under my calves/feet and never got the again. It might be the pressure on the leg muscles or helping with water drainage but haven't had them for weeks. Hope this helps
