Leg and hand cramps?

When I was younger it wasn't unusual for me to get foot cramps, but in recent years I hardly ever get them.

Now, I frequently get cramps in my calfs if I stretch my legs in bed. Also, occassionally during the day my hand cramps and I can see on the side of my hand where there is an indentation during the cramp. As I work the cramp out, I can watch my hand "reform." It's very strange!

What is the cause of this? I had never had a hand cramp like this and now I get them several times a day.

The absolute best cure for cramps is magnesium and honestly, I have not had ONE in over three years. It works so incredibly well. If you take that daily, your pain shall cease.

try eating a little mustard u don't have to eat a lot just a little

of course the obvious answer would be to tell you to go to the dr., first and foremost. However, I've heard that very low levels of potassium cause leg cramps. It's a side effect of the defficiency. Try a supplement or add a couple of bananas to your diet and see if anything improves.

Hope you get better. :)
