@jupiterkaren one thing I did forget is Ice ,when I had my toe operation the Dr told.me to just apply a ice pack as ice is good for inflammation.Hope you find some relief just remember we know our own bodies there,s no One fits all remedy good luck
Thanks, have done heat pad but not ice.
I have spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, etc. I have been so out out it that I have forgotten to take my meds in the morning several times which leads to grating pains in the back of my legs and I cannot lay in bed to sleep. I, tok, cannot get in the tub. Exactly how do you use epsom salts with a washcloth- sorry if I sound dumb
Thanks so much for the idea - you may have helped with my agony at these times. Bless you for your thoughtfulness !

Yes ice is our friend.
I'll check it the turmeric tea...and arnica cream thanx. Did the rest. Just exhausted. I truly don't know any more. Thank you.
@marcyk I fill the sink full of hot water not scalding put Epsom salts in swish it around till desolved wring out your washcloth with water and hold it on the muscle till it cools down this lets the magnesium penetrate its the best way I,ve found so far helps to sleep at night . Other things that help leg spasms or charley horses is drinking pickle juice anything that has the vinegar in oh this is also good for the legs , do likewise with the vinegar wring out washcloth and apply to legs.
@springwater How did the ice help?
@jupiterkaren Its the ginger-turmeric tea good for inflammation
@springwater Reread the email could this be fibromyalgia? Ask others here who have fibromyalgia I've had it for 30+ yrs and for me no med. helped but a product called Fibro Malic has for me I buy it through Vitacost.com I'm just trying to figure out what might help .Epsom Salt for leg cramps, hot showers,Tens unit for tight muscles ,it relaxes the muscles,for Epsom salts I wring out a wash cloth and apply it to my legs ,cant get in tub.Just some more suggestions
