Leg cramps and altitude

Posted by porkyb @porkyb, Aug 11 1:51pm

I have chronic nocturnal leg cramps. Where I live the elevation is around 2300 ft. When I go to our summer home which is at around 7200 ft. the cramps get a lot worse! The things I do at home (which work) just don't work there.
Has anyone else had the same experiences?

Yes, I find the same thing... I get leg cramps very easily at 7,000 ft and when I go to sea level I rarely have any trouble. Hard to walk them off in the middle of the night. Try to limit alcohol intake and stay hydrated.
