Leg cramps at night

I started having bad leg and foot cramps when I began taking tamoxifen after BC surgery last year. I continue to have them, but less so, with anastrozole. I get some relief from Magnesium Glycinate, which I take at night for both sleep and cramps. I have noticed that cramps and dehydration are related, so I drink lots of fluids when working outside, and a gatorade drink if it is really hot and/or I am doing something strenuous. Still, the cramps (and sleeping) got worse with an estrogen blocker.

Am also having leg cramps while on chemo for metastasized breast cancer. I’ve used Theraworx Relief foam on the cramping calf of foot, which used to work instantly but now takes
several minutes.
Prevention is always better and am finding Magnesium oil applied before bed prevents the cramps. Am experimenting to see for how long- at least a week?
(Sunfood, Pure & Potent Magnesium Oil). Good luck!
