I suffer from them relentlessly. I also take K2. I guess they could be worse
That’s hard to imagine.
Highly recommend Theraworks. Plus I take magnesium and potassium supplements.
Also, applying a pretty heavy duty vibrating massager to the muscle will stop them, pressing hard into the muscle. Without the massager, you can press your knuckles into it.
Unfortunately, the pressure needed on the muscle is painful, and nothing prevents the muscles from being very sore for days after the cramping. However, a hot epsom salt bath for 15-20 minutes can help.
You might want to try a magnesium supplement...say every other day (not over doing it). Daily intact for a male is 420 mg...for a gal, 320.
Into my 40s...I suffered a lot from it. After I started the magnesium, it went down to once a year.
I use a topical magnesium oil spray, Cymbiotika, before I go to bed. I spray it on my legs, my neck and shoulders and stomach. I take magnesium and vitamin K2 as well; I upped my intake over the summer and added the magnesium oil and I really think it has helped.
I suffered from them for years, but have almost none now. Two to three tablespoons of plain apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water before bedtime, and 95% or more of them are gone. If they are really bad, which happens maybe every two months, I get cramps, but I take another dose of vinegar and water and the cramps go away in seconds.
I get along with the cheap store brand vinegar, maybe $1.95 per quart. Since it works so well, I don’t spend the extra money for the fancy organic stuff.
I had asked my doctor for help, send me to a specialist or something, he said there was no treatment. Then one day 5 years ago I was helping a friend get in his hay on a hot August day in Kansas. At the end of the day, I got leg cramps so bad, I could hardly get up the three steps to his back door. His wife said, sit down, I’ll get you something. She handed me a 10 Oz glass of cool water and apple cider vinegar. The cramps went away before I could get my work boots unlaced. Amazing!
