Night Cramps?

I tend to have night cramps in my calf muscle.
(A night cramp is a pain that generally occurs in the night which is due to the muscle spasm when a muscle contacts too hard. They may wake you from sleep. It can become a distressing condition if your sleep is regularly disturbed. The muscle can stay tendered for up to 24 hours after the night cramp. )
After the cramp ends I normally just fall back asleep but the next morning I'm in pain for the next couple days. What can I do to get rid of some of the after pains?

Could be a deficiency of potassium, calcium, magnesium or Vitamin B6.

I use to get cramps all the time until I started taking a daily multi-vitamin and the cramps decreased by 75 % or so. Then, I read a article how much B-12 vitaminms play a roll in muscle cramps. You guess it, I started taking one daily B-12 vitamin and now I get calf cramp maybe 2-3 times a year. I hope it works as well for you as it worked for me. It is the best ten bucks a month I have ever spent.

GOOD LUCK!
