    Anyone experience leg cramps? That's why I'm up at this hour. Not just a charlie-horse in the lower leg, but ones in the thigh that have me bolting upright out of bed and immobile for several minutes. nothing I do helps, I just have to wait it out. They're excruciating. They're worse if I over eat or don't eat enough. I've only met a couple people that have an idea what this is like. Well, at least I can get caught up on what's going on here at JWD!

    Hi Emma,

    I always massaged the area firmly (yes it hurts). But this sounds different from my charleyhorses.

    Thank you, What A Coincidence. I've never heard of that. I just hobbled off to the kitchen for a big spoonful of mustard; good thing I like it. Itll be amazing if this works; I thought I'd tried everything.

    Magnisium and calcium come in well balenced supplements..Calcium and Magnisium can be found in oyster shell.. Magnesium will help the calcium work..Cramps are a calcium defishency...OUTLAW

    I take a potassium tablet when I have leg cramps. They work well for me.
