I’ve been getting cramps over 3 yrs now. Started out getting them just when I woke up, doing a little body stretch in bed and bam! Could be feet or legs. Then it progressed to cramps popping up during the day. It could happen in my shins, feet, & hands. Had tried doses of potassium, drinking lots of electrolytes, taking magnesium glycinate before bed, nothing works.

I've been getting cramps in my feet and legs (only) for quite a few years. It happens when I wake up in the morning, no other time. I found a way to stop them in their tracks! I sleep under a duvet (only) and when I feel a cramp coming on, I bunch up the duvet and rest my foot on it and the cramp stops! I haven't had a full-blown cramp in years. I know this sounds silly but I think it relaxes the muscles that want to cramp.
