Are noctornal leg cramps considered serious injury?

yeah, that could be the onset, warning signs of blood clots.

no..ur.low.on.potassium...eat.banannas.a...

only to the crampee or is it cramped

yes very dangerous

Could be a sign of low potassium. Eat some bananas and potatoes for the next few days and see if that helps. Good luck!

not necessarily, you could just have restless legs syndrome

No, they can be from insufficient calcium and potassium levels.

Its called restless leg syndrome and its horrible! go to your doctor and talk to them about it.

They are not an injury. In order to be an injury, there had to be an accident of some kind. They could be the result of nutritional deficiency (use a vitamin supplement with more B vitamins) or they can be part of restless-leg symdrome.You should also try some yoga and streching before bed in order to reduce stress and relax muscles in the legs so they are less tense while you sleep.

low potassium, eat bananas (like stated above) or potatoes (i.e. potato soup).

If you're concerned, ask your doctor.

No, not serious injury. It feels like it. You may be deficient in potassium or magnesium. My ex used to get leg cramps every night, especially in the summer, and got potassium/magnesium supplements and that helped him.

They are to you if nothing else, have a doctor set up tests , it could be serious

Forget eating bananas or taking potassium. I suffered from severe leg cramps for years. Then I read something in our local newspaper that changed my life forever. Don't laugh until you try it! It works, I promise you. A bar of soap between your sheet and mattress, at the foot of the bed. It can't be any soap starting with the letter "D" such as Dial or Dove. But any other brand will do. Change the bar out about once ever six months. I haven't had a leg cramp in over a year. My jar of potassium is still in my medicine cabinet and now I eat bananas when I want to, not because I feel like I have to. Nobody understands why this work, it just does! Google it! "Leg cramps, soap." It's certainly a cheap enough fix!

Depends some on your age. When I entered highschool I was a shrimp, about 5' 2" when i finished highschool I was 6'1" during that time I had bad leg cramps most every night, growing pains. However you should consult a doctor about it.

My ex has em really badly in his sleep. He screams in his pillow and they only happen at night. But yeah, eat bananas and get some electrolytes in you too.

It's either restless leg syndrome, in which you feel like you need to move your legs every so often, or it could be the onset of blood clots. Go to the doctor.

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