Dr. Bus, what do you suggest for nocturnal calf cramps? When that happens I feel it for a couple days. (P.S. I take Potassium already)

Oh, I get those sometimes too! I always wake up milliseconds before its about to happen so I have enough time to yell bad words before becoming paralyzed by pain. I find if you force your leg out straight and point your toes up (and reach down to pull on them if you can), basically go into a calf stretch, you can kill the cramp and avoid that three to four day bruised feeling as well.

Since my toes are usually pointed in a ballot stance, I end up jumping out of bed and forcing my foot flat on the floor with all my weight. Man, how annoying is that?

Those ones in the arch of your foot suck hard too. And your toe looks all gimpy too.

I got one of those calf cramps a few months ago...It was pretty painful & I was wondering how I managed to hurt myself in my sleep!! Good to see I'm not alone!

don't really know Amom, just write about what I experienced and had treated or recovered from.
I am beginning to think that the pharmas are trying to influence the public with this bombardment of commercials touting their products for every ache and pain known to mankind.
Like the toy companys do/did with their toys on all the kiddy shows. "I want one of those, mommy, I need that, mommy" etc. and so on.
Darn, there are pills for pooping/not pooping, peeing,not peeing, restless leg syndrome, sleeping, burping pills, farting pills, a half dozen pills for poor guys too pooped to pop ,and on and on.
A hypocondriacs? dream come true, and can't you just hear them at the doc's office reading from that list they copied and believing they need that pill, just like the kid needs that toy.
ah, the power of advertising. or maybe(creepy noises here) thee obama heath care plan is going to happen and we(creepy,again) need to line up these people so they think they are sick enough to buy our anti-fart pills and stuff. |

Had the same problem with the middle of the night cramps in my calfs until I recently had to rehab my legs. Doing calf lifts cured me. You just stand up straight, get up on your toes, and then back down. Repeat until you feel the burn.... for best results, keep going once the burning starts. I usually do two or three sets every other day while I'm watching tv.
