Only thing I know is heat or ice Make sure you're staying hydrated stretching walking warm bath maybe with some Epson salt. If they continue go to the dr and find out why you are having them. I'm sorry I'm not much help . But I hope you can get them under control. 🙂

Hi james2189, you are spot on. I have found that in my situation, tons of good water are a necessity for those of us with any chronic illness.

We must be careful, however because with all the intake of fluid, we have to be careful of our electrolytes. My blood pressure meds, for example, have a diuretic in it.

So, while I definitely take my 8 to 10 glasses per day, I make sure I also take my PCP approved supplements so I won't flush out my Potassium and other important minerals.

Kudos to you, sir, for excellent self care and helping others in the process!

Blessings!
