I have been getting my legs massaged (firmly) ankle to knee) about 5 minutes each night using massage oil. Then rubbing an anti-inflammatory gel (I use Voltaren) on my injured foot. I’ve added a few of @sbtheplumber1 ‘s karate chops to the sole of each foot. I’ve been putting the heat section at the foot of the bed’s electric blanket on low for about an hour before I get in (then turn it off).
Three nights without cramps! I know it’s early days but I wanted to thank everyone for their ideas and sharing their experiences.
I’m fairly sure I have vascular issues in lower legs as well as the peripheral neuropathy caused by B6 toxicity (that I am still detoxing from). In my case I think inflammation is also playing a part.
At least three things working together creating malfunction.
The biggest lesson I have learned so far is there is no ‘one size fits all’. Each person and case is unique.
Be careful of anything that comes in a jar and even if you think it’s a ‘natural’ supplement, I you take a pill and your doctor asks “What are you taking” don’t say, “Nothing”. We are just learning how toxic supplements can be and how powerful the advertising sector of the multi-billion dollar ‘supplement industry’ is.
