Question

Please recommend best remedies or cure for night leg cramps. They're so painful and a disturbs sleep?

Answer 1

My mother used to get awful leg cramps at night.  She went to see the doctor about them and he recommended some medication for her.  I suggest that you visit your medical practitioner as soon as possible.

Answer 2

Try adding a magnesium supplement to your diet - cramps can be caused by lack of this mineral in our body

Are you drinking sufficient water and sweating a lot? Some people swear by salt tablets for the sweat bit and as for the water perhaps drink more.

I find that if a cramp grabs me its best to swing your legs over the edge of the bed and lower your weight on to the affected leg and walk about a bit gently

Some say that putting a piece of camphor block - the type that you use in cupboards for insects - placed at the foot of the bed between the sheets works - haven't personally tried it but worth a try

below are some websites with really good suggestions

May good health and sound sleep come your way
