I’m shocked at the lack of information about leg cramps. It’s a crime that the medical industry hasn’t a clue. Magnesium deficiency is the cause and magnesium supplements (magnesium glycinate) as well as topical use of magnesium chloride (a few Tablespoons crystals dissolved in a cup of H2O then put feet in this and let the bottom of the feet absorb the magnesium). Your leg cramps will be gone in moments. You can apply directly to the calf also. You may soak the entire body for an overall relaxation treatment. Magnesium relaxes muscles. Why are doctors so clueless about this painful problem? I take 3-4 types of magnesium every day because my body (kidneys) “dump” magnesium. If you don’t have enough magnesium you will have kidney problems. Take it from me. I’ve managed to stay off dialysis. Most of our foods are very much lacking minerals so trying to supplement with just foods may not be sufficient for those with serious deficiencies. I had world-class leg cramps at night. Very painful. My best to everyone.
