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

@workswithclay29 - someone also suggested Hylands Leg Cramp pills - I get them at the natural food store. You just dissolve them under your tongue - sounds a little 'hocus-pocus' but you never know when something might help. Your cramps sound so severe. I have used tonic water for years (you get used to the taste), (and I also add a little vodka), but I do think there is something to the tonic remedy (actually - it's quinine).

I can't stand the taste of tonic water - though I tried it when my doctor quit prescribing quinine pills because of the FDA. My cramps came back, so I found another doctor to prescribe the quinine. I agree, a topical med seems like it wouldn't work, but I'd try ANYTHING to get rid of the cramps.

Thanks for responding! I used Hylands pills several years ago. Did not work for me then. I use diet tonic water to cut my wine and gin and tonic drinks. May not be enough pure quinine or the artificial sweetener may interfere. Will look into a purer form of quinine. Thanks again.
