Leg cramps

[philstar22]

What's the best thing to do for muscle spasms/cramps. My back and calves are spasming right now and keep cramping up.

Re: Leg cramps

apply heat and gently stretch.

Re: Leg cramps

Make sure you are getting enough potassium. And do stretches.

Re: Leg cramps

[philstar22]

Its because I spent a total of 15+ hours in the last 3 days sitting in a really uncomfortable chair. So I don't think potassium is the problem.

Take a walk around the block and I second stretching your legs, and don't sit that long in chairs....even comfortable ones. Definitely don't go longer than two hours sitting in one before getting up. Even a five minute walk in between sittings will help.

Re: Leg cramps

[philstar22]

I was taking the Bar, so I didn't really have a choice. We weren't allowed to just randomly get up. Normally I wouldn't sit that long and in the same position.

Then they should have allowed for brief breaks in the middle of that exam.

Re: Leg cramps

[(Anonymous)]

You could have done the 'stuck in your airplane seat' exercises, toe raises, heel lifts, ankle rotations, etc. But now the best you can do is a hot bath with Epsom's salts, a large glass of water, and some stretching.

Re: Leg cramps

[(Anonymous)]

Also magnesium and water.

Re: Leg cramps

[(Anonymous)]

Only thing that does it for me is massaging it. When I get a charlie horse in the middle of the night, I'll push my foot against the wall while massaging the muscle and it seems to go away fairly quickly.

Re: Leg cramps

[(Anonymous)]

add magnesium supplements to your diet (or magnesium oil, foot soaks, etc--whatever form works best for you)
do lots of stretches!!!
hydrate (this is always my advice to be fair...but am I wrong? everyone needs to hydrate!)
