I'll do you a swap for the shin cramps I get at night

Indian Tonic Water ... with gin if you absolutely must :)

Cramp in calves during the night....trying to get out of bed in 5 seconds or less to flatten the feet, now that hurts. ;o)

Reasons to be cheerful?

Might be gout...

[mojay]

cramp does hurt- it's really painful and I'm not sure the recommended wine cork in the PJ pocket is any help lol

[mrs_overall]

I take 2 prescription meds for cramp and they don't work :-(

[gness]

Rub it hard with a big pebble confused. If that doesn`t work probably is gout. Isn`t a cut potato in the bed supposed to help cramp?

I don't suffer very often - but Arcoxia (a POM) seems to sort it out when I do - not instant relief, more a gradual easing, but the main thing is it stops it recurring.

Calmagzinc tablets from thevhealthfood store. 3 a day, like swallowing house bricks but they work

[jno]

Crampex pills from the chemist

Cramp in big toe.....better watch that's not Gout

I get cramps in my legs at night in bed, I feel the pressure building in the muscle and if I'm quick I turn over onto my facewith my feet and shins overhanging the bed-end. It works for me. If I'm asleep though I miss the onset and am woken by the sudden snatching of the muscles, then the only cure is hobbling around the bedroom. The GP says its circulation and that I should have a drink of water before retiring. He doesn't understand when I tell him I don't retire for another 6 months !! Nightly Quinine tablets sometimes help but not guaranteed. You've got my sympathy.

I suffer sometimes, maybe after walking loads, and a friend suffers really bad,think she has tried most brands, but will tell her about the ones from the healthshop that woofgang suggested
