help! I need some relief!

Does anyone else get the sever leg cramps and muscle spasms  at night when they are trying to get some sleep? They hurt so bad. I'm exhausted and can't sleep because of the cramping and spasms. Is there anything I can do to make it stop??

^^^Yes pickles!!! I have not had any problem with leg cramps since I was younger. I used to run track and my brother played football and both our coaches recommended pickles and pickle juice. Plus lots of water.

Try eating a pickle before bed. Also if you are in the middle of having one and can make it to the fridge, drink the juice... instant cure. I used to get them like 3 times a night

If you can stomach it, try eating a banana before bed. They can help combat leg cramps.
