Anyone else getting leg cramping?
I might be alone on this one but I have been having some painful leg cramping down my thighs ever so often. I have read online that it could be i'm not getting enough calcium or potassium. I have no idea.....does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks for the advice ladies! And yes lumterps please let me know if that works. I've been taking Calcium supplements the last few days and it seems to be getting better.
hahah...i'm sorry your legs are cramping! Mine are cramping so bad right now I hoped on the forum to see if anyone else was expirencing this....so I guess I'm not alone! I have a terrible aching feeling in my tighs. I'm gonna try the tums thing right now, it makes sense and then drink a ton of water! I 'll let you know if it helps! I hope your cramping subsides....
My neighbor had this problem and said the best fix was to take a couple of Tums (for the calcium). She would take three at bedtime and be good to go for another day. You can also have your levels checked to see. I know my potassium level was low a few times ESP after throwing up a lot from being sick but low potassium made me feel super sick. Potassium and magnesium both relax the muscles.
I hope this passes soon sounds like NO fun!! You can try heat to relax the muscles where they are cramping.
