Night Cramps

Night cramps, growing pains, most musculo skeletal pain can be elimiated completely with this inexpensive suppliment....

Why has no one mentioned this to date.....

After 25yrs of practice it always bares fruitful

I have been experiencing these cramps for the past couple of months. In my case I think it has to do with water. I rarely drink the amount of water I should be drinking, therefore this makes my blood more viscous thus making it harder to pass through my veins. Furthermore since I'm laying in a supine position gravity is not helping the flow of blood. I'm guessing this is the reason why sometimes people tell you to get up as fast as you can and jump on it, and it seems to work. Anywho this is just my theory.

I have had this for a few years now but it only happens maybe 5 times a year and I read a forum post about a year ago that saved my life and my calf from this nightmare.

If you catch the cramp quick enough what they said to do is pull your foot up and pull your toes back like you are trying to touch your shin with your toes. This has worked for me literally every time I've tried it, and even if you get full on into the cramp it helps if you can remember through the pain to do it. Just crank your toes back as quick as possible.

Hope this makes sense and that it works for you as well as it does for me.

Hi,

I have got painful night leg cramps as well, and I have discovered that they go away if you drink water. That's why I now sleep with a bottle of water near me, as soon as I wake up because of the cramps I drink it and the pain disappears in minutes. I also take magnesium salts with lots of water just before going to sleep, it helps a lot.

Give it a try, I am sure you'll do better.

Good luck

I have just returned from a camping trip and once again was kept awake for most of the night by leg cramps.  I don't want to abandon camping so would like to share the problem and hopefully get some ideas as to how to resolve it.  Yes I have had them at home in a comfortable bed after too much alcohol so I know this is a cause but this happens rarely.  But increasingly lying on an airbed in a sleeping bag they occur frequently which, as fellow sufferers will know, is very painful especially having to unzip the bag, struggle up from ground level and press hard on the affected leg which I find is the only solution.  I have a very cosy, comfortable XL sleeping bag which keeps me warm, the only difference from my bed at home is that I probably point my toes more and lie on an airbed.  Drinking water helps. Does the toe position have something to do with it? Damp from the ground? The airbed itself?  I am reasonably fit, 63 and my partner who has exactly the same set up doesn't get cramp at all. 

I get something like this, except that it happens to the tendon behind my left knee. It only hurts for a minute and only once every few nights. It hurts so bad that I wake up screaming, but I go back to sleep right away. It almost seems like I'm passing out because I can't even stay awake long enough to stretch it or do anything. I know it's not a blood clot, but I was wondering if you guys think it sounds like a cramp or something else? I'm 16.

It's agony, isn't it. I have found the cure. It's either one or all of three things.

1. I take a multivit and mineral tablet daily in case I am short of essential      minerals.

2. A small glass of tonic water, containing quinnine, before bed.

3. Thick warm socks, preferably straight off the radiator for extra cosiness!

A leccy blanky is very nice as well.

Happy sleeping!
