@gator123 @davej I was having excruciating leg muscle cramps at night and was receiving cortisone injections in my lumbar spine to control them. A friend suggested magnesium and it was like magic, worked instantly. I still get the occasional muscle spasm but nothing like I had been having. It's a simple and benign solution if it works. I now take 500 mgs although I started out at 250 MGs. I wish you luck with this issue of muscle spasms/cramps.

Varicose veins are another issue. I would speak to a specialist if that is the source of your pain. They can be treated.
