instep cramps ruining sleep
Almost every night shortly after getting in bed or falling asleep my leg muscles get very tense and then it seems the big tendon or ligament in the instep of my foot leading upward on the shin side gets very tight and goes into a very painful cramp that gets me out of bed and I can't find any quick way to get rid of it like stretching or massage. Extremely painful. Any advice appreciated if you experience the same thing. Thank you. jimk

1 ReactionI once had a DO tell me that tonic water works for that and it did. I think it’s the quinine in it.
Potassium and magnesium will help muscle cramps.
If that doesn’t help pramipexole or gabapentin could relieve your cramps.
