Leg cramps?

Hi ladies,

I have been having leg cramps almost nightly for weeks. I told my doctor about it about 4 weeks ago, and she suggested that i take a 200 mg magnesium supplement. I have been taking that and trying to hydrate more, but not having much luck. Is anyone else having leg cramps and have any tips? I stretch out the cramp in my leg or foot, and i usually feel it coming back almost instantly.

Thanks!

Update: Thank you everyone for the great advice! I really appreciate it! I ended up getting the theraworx foam (magnesium sulfate) lotion from walgreens yesterday since it was in stock, and it was the first night in weeks where my legs and feet didnt cramp! I also took an iron and magnesium supplement. Thanks again, ladies! :)
