Cramp!

I've been getting cramp in my feet & calves an awful lot lately & last nights episode was sooo painful.
I was sitting watching tv with my feet up on the coffee table & wham - the pain was so intense.
Does anyone else suffer with this?

Thanks all - I have had cramp in my feet before & usually walk into the kitchen & stand on the cold floor for a while, but this time it was in my calves & was really, really painful. I didn't know what to do, apart from yelp until it stopped!
If it happens for much longer, I'll take a trip to the doc's, ta.

There is still quinine in tonic water. Read the list of contents to make sure. This happened to me a couple of years ago and I asked the pharmacist in Boots for advice. She suggested a glass of tonic water each night, (gin optional!) and it worked brilliantly within a few days. I now probably drink it a couple of times a week and have no problems.
Thank you all again for your very helpful answers.
Funnily enuff, even tho' it's been quite cold, I have been sweating a bit (not smelly), but put it down to not being at all well over the w/end,
I shall have a tipple of tonic water tonight (minus the gin, lol) & hope for less or no cramps. I also love bananas, so will partake tomorrow! Many thanks.
Hi BOO - always nice to see your name on here. You really did make me laugh on the 'stiff legs' thread. Love ya little quips! ♥
