Severe leg cramps: How do you relax severe leg cramps?

Posted by Dawn, Alumni Mentor @dawn_giacabazi, Jun 25, 2016

Please someone tell me the trick to relax severe leg cramps????
Lord, they are lasting 1-2 hours, debilitating pain. Can't walk them off. Starting behind the knees down to my toes. Some curl my toes some point them. Tried stretching, bio feedback relaxation. NO HELP!! HELP!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

Tonic water & mustard. Totally worth a try. Rough night again. Muscles are so tight & sore from all the cramps. I am back to physical therapy this morning. Hoping it doesn't kill me. I am going to ER if I get one in therapy.

Something that worked/works for my wife for leg cramps at night, although perhaps not as severe as yours: The 8oz bottle just says “Proven Old Amish Formula. Stops leg & foot cramps in about one minute.” Caleb Treeze organic Farm, 624 Ruberta Ave, Glendale, CA 91201 818-247-9600. http://www.StopsLeg Cramps.com<br>My wife bought it in a health food store. Best wishes. -- Chuck

I just received a reply from your post? Even though I replied to you, but<br>maybe you received one as well. This is in regard to your and my problem<br>re: leg cramps. This mans wife uses this product "Proven Old Amish<br>Formula" Stops leg & foot cramps in about one minute. Signed Caleb<br>Treeze Organic Farm 624 Ruberta Ave, Glendale, Ca 91201 818-247-9600. I<br>might give this a try also, but the Magnesium article, which I cannot<br>retrieve, was impressive. that product is at a website Remag.com Good<br>Luck Bestcare<br><br>

Dawn,<br><br>Its Dr. Carolyn Dean. If you google her I'm sure you will find out about<br>ReMag or Magnesium in general. Hope this helps.<br><br><br>Bestcare<br><br>

Try tonic water. My friend who is a nurse swears by this.<br><br>Your electrolytes may be out of balance. Do you know what is causing you<br>to have these cramps? Mine was kidney disease.<br><br>Best wishes!! Hope you find an answer soon.<br>

My dad does the whole mustard thing and it works! He keeps a few packets of mustard by his bed and when he gets a really bad Charlie horse in his quads he will eat one or two and it only take a minute or so to work. He swears by it because he's gotten cramps his whole life.
