Re: Leg cramps

sounds like charlies horse cramps, stretch your feet inward n it should go away or try standing on a cold surface (like a tile floor).

Re: Leg cramps

I was told to this by a aunty and really work. When you are getting the cramp...just stand up. it will work.

Re: Leg cramps

I had those leg cramps a few times during pregnancy. You have to get up right away and put weight on that leg. It can hurt for a few days after but there's nothing you can do. First I thought it was bad circulation, so I tried walking more. Then I thought it was a deficiency but I was not having any health probs ... it was just genetics.

Re: Leg cramps

Get some Epsom salts and give your feet a nice soaking in warm water with Epsom salts before you go to bed. Worked for my neighbour.
