I'm up late tonight because my leg cramps are bad. In my calf. I just ate 1/2 a banana which sometimes helps. Anyone else have that problem? My Dr says my potassium level is very good and try taking magnesium supplements which I am. Still cramping. I take a multi vit, b complex, calcium, and magnesium.

Hello:

I get awful leg cramps sometimes too. Sometimes my legs hurt for three days after having a bad one. I'm having a physical next month and have this on my list to discuss with my primary care doctor. I look forward to hearing from others and can defintely relate with you.

Hope it gets better soon for both of us.

Are you drinking your Water amounts by your surgeon? You have to drink water to help the body keep from dehydrating. Potassium and calcuim intakes are important as well. See your PCP.

Good luck

I had similar problems with in my first few weeks post op. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids and once you get on your vitamins daily it should help. I take my multi Vitiamin and also add a B12 complex and Vit D since mine was very low. Since I have gotton on this regiment and am on real food I am not having the cramps anymore. Boy were they horrible while I had them though!

water. drink more water. always happens to me.

See your doctor, it could be something as simple as Restless Leg Syndrome to something more serious. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

I think I've narrowed down my leg cramping thanks to u guys here. After retracing yesty I remember not getting in enough water. Some days nothing wants to go down easy even water it seems.

Thanks for your replies.

Water - get enough water!

Also, quick cure. swig of pickle juice or a spoon full of mustard. They go away within seconds.

im wondering if you are drinking enough water?? i have problems with cramping and i know that its because i dont have enough intake of water.

Vita coco or coconut water has major potassium I've used it for leg cramps.
