Wow, I didn't know there were so many people suffering from this. I also get severe cramps, especially in my calves but also on the bottoms of my feet or the sides. I've been eating OTC leg cramping medication. I've also tried compression socks, topical creams to relax muscles. They aren't effective. I thought it was my low iron levels but that hasn't been the case since being put on iron supplements. Disheartening to not find a remedy.
