The discomfit I commonly experience is a painful tightness in my lower leg. This forces me out of bed, so I stand, hold on to my bedside table with both hands and do about 10-20 heel raises quite slowly. I can then return to bed and fall back to sleep.

Doing 2 or 3 sets of heel and toe lifts each day reduces the likelihood of these cramp like pains at night.

As hard as it is with chronic pain. Ice and walking in the cold.

I had leg cramps several nights in a row. I always take Magnesium Glycinate at night. The last 3 nights I added calcium and zinc and no cramps!

I'm wondering if vibrating plates would work? I ordered one for my husband and it should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know if it helps with him.

@maryhal I have one and I love it. I didn't use it for a few days over the busy holidays.... Hmmm I wonder if that caused my cramping at night? I'm back to it today!
