Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I know it well, unfortunately. Stretching it out is all that works. Magnesium and potassium is what helps prevent them. For example banana and water.

Actually..it's not quite that simple. I have severe iron deficiency. My hemoglobin falls into the single digits regularly. When your iron is real low, you also get really bad cramps
@Freespirit64 ugh, sorry to hear. I also found out that if you're not getting enough oxygen in your blood you'll get leg cramps
@Livinlife yes I've read that too
why is the first thing you try do is massage the cramped area it never works

@Snickers77 they happen only at night when I'm in bed sleeping. My toes get lock-jaw too and thats so painful.
@Snickers77 I still need surgery so I'm not sure what's up. It only happens in my bad leg.
Eat more bananas!

@Snickers77 I have never heard of potassium intolerance, does that mean it makes you ill when you consume it?
@Snickers77 thank you for answering!
