Thanks for this, there is some great information here.

With regards the exercising and you suggest warming up the muscles before starting and also drinking water so as not to get dehydrated, I have also found that cramps can be brought on if we exercise too hard in intensity, or for longer than we are used to – the muscles get overtaxed and the nerves over stimulated because of this.

To safeguard against this happening it is better not to increase duration or intensity by, for instance, no more than 10% than we are used to.

Keeping things in control in this way will minimise the chance of suffering night leg cramps due to exercise.

I was not sure about which website to confirm and then I saw your blog and it really proved to be helpful to me. The content is great and easy to apply. Please post some more
topics related to it.

I use an electric massager that I got for my wife’s to use on her stiff neck. Before I go to bed I use the massager on both legs. On the calf’s and the muscle down the outside of both legs between the knee and the foot and the arch of both feet. Then I take two Aspirin and a couple of big swigs of Tonic water with quinine. (It contains a small amount of quinine.) After months and months of night time leg cramps I found this and it works every night. When I need to go to the bathroom during the night I take another small swig of the Tonic water. I Sleep like a baby with NO leg cramps. Check with your doctor if you have heart problems as large amounts of quinine can cause your heart to stop. Good luck.

What a brilliant post. You should do a series! I did a sort of blogging for dummies over on one of the craft forums and I thought it was too simple for them, but the amount of emails I got asking questions just like what you addressed was unbelievable. As young people today we have grown up with computers, but it’s easy to forget that even people
just a few years older have not! Really good post!

I agree wholeheartedly with what you say in this article.

EFT and meditation can both be used to control and lessen pain. These techniques can also be used to prevent pain coming on.

The only disadvantage in using the methods is that they need to be learned and practiced in order to make them work.
But once that initial training period has been completed the methods work wonderfully well.

I couldn’t attack the work like I had before so I thought to try some coffee which did give me a noticeable boost in energy but that night the leg cramps came back. I again quit the coffee and no leg cramps. |

I attributed to to much coffee (it turned out to be our water.) I was drinking tea instead I didn’t notice it but I stopped having leg cramps. I started a new job with a company I had worked for previously. I noticed I couldn’t attack the work like I had before so I thought to try some coffee which did give me a noticeable boost in energy but that night the leg cramps came back. |

I have been able to work with weights now that I am in high school, and I want to learn which vitamins and minerals to take. |

Hi, I have suffered with leg cramps all of my 64 years, not every night. As a young adult I learned the pulling the foot toward the knee, this helped keep me in bed so I could go back to sleep and not have to jump out of bed to walk. Later in life they started spreading to strange places like inside the ankle where I could not massage or know how to move the muscle. I’ve been using the hot water method. My ligaments get stiff and look deformed until the heat takes effect and sometimes takes a while. I can feel it coming like a restless muscle and I run to the bathtub. I might need hydration, I’m going to concentrate on that. I already take calcium and magnesium. Mine don’t seem to relate to coffee, but I have noticed a connection with different shoes.

Surprisingly I almost agree with just about all you have said. I guess it’s great to re-look at the way you think since you get into many habits inside the head. Appreciate the comments.
