foot cramps during the night

Posted by sdcz @sdcz, 1 day ago

does anyone else experience painful foot cramps at night? Very uncomfortable and wakes me up. I am wondering if compression socks will help. I live in Canada and waiting for the extended release form of cardodopa/levedopa to be approved for use, hoping that will help.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Magnesium - 500 mg - helps!

You might want to check into the status of extended release carbidopa/levodopa. I live in Ontario Canada. I have a continuing prescription for the extended release version from my local Pharmasave store. I've been using this for five months, along with the regular Apo-Levocarb 25/100 during the day. I have found the extended release version quite helpful to get a full night's sleep.
