Muscle spasm?

[Cijay]

I have been having really bad muscle spasms lately like to the point I'm crying. It's only on my left side though like my left hand, calf and left side of my back. It's not just during the night either and it's causing me to be so sore and tired. Has anyone else had this? Is this normal?

I've tried the calcium and they didn't help it too much. I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with my hypertension. Last night I was hurting and cramping so bad I thought I was going into labor

I've been taking a calcium supplement in the evenings, and that seems to have greatly reduced the number of muscle cramps I get. Instead of getting them every night, I usually only get one every two weeks-ish.

I'm 30w and have had bad muscle cramping for several weeks. Much worse at night and in all muscles below the waist although my hand cramped up last week. I have to be careful how I flex my calves while in bed or I'll get a terrible Charlie horse. Sometimes I wake up and feel like many muscles are are on the verge of cramping and I'm scared because after that first Charlie horse I limped for days! Going to mention it to my doctor next week but everything in my body is going haywire right now so not too concerned.
