Muscle cramps during the night though lads and ladies

What a bunch of wusses

 

[PKwalnuts]

Yeah, this was my first one in a while! I've also read that it can be caused by excessive exercise...

How is your forearm?

Restless Leg Sysndrome...been the bane of my last 20 years. However, a friend of the Mrs randomly suggested lavender oil on the soles of the feet as you get in bed. Was a particular one from Holland & Barrett....and by Christ, 3 weeks in and I've slept like a baby.

Mr G. is a sufferer often walking round the bedroom in a bid to ease the symptoms. Someone suggested a magnesium supplement but it didn’t work for him, will definitely give the lavender oil a try though.

These are truly horrible aren’t they? I’d rather watch the RS lift a trophy than experience another spasm. My calf is properly badgered too this morning

Try a high strength Calcium-Magnesium supplement.

Have you tried putting you leg (knee down) in a bucket of rice?

Foot cramp in the bridge of your foot at 2am, unreal.

I get them, strange thing is I only started with them when I got Covid in 2020? If I keep well hydrated then I don’t get many. But yeh, they are awful especially at that time of night.

Dehydration, perhaps check your blood sugar levels/insulin resistance.

Try amputating the offending limb with a skillsaw.

Those cramps will be nowt but a distant memory.

F' sake Thomas! I hit reply and started typing a similar such post, before seeing yours!
You sure do know how to ruin a lad's Saturday afternoon fun.

Do yoga you whinging pom ninnies. Be a real man and do yoga.

BP, COPD, Diabetes, checks. Hydration. You been doing any tap dancing or sauna & steam room work? Sudden changes in activity can take formerly lazy parts of the body by surprise. Pulled muscles and ligaments occur more regular with age. You don't believe those zimmer frames the geriatrics use are for fashion purposes do you?

Put the speedballs down and take a breath mate...

Scallywag!

@Paris My other suggestion would be to go see a 'professional masseuse', and get a happy ending.


If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what will.
