Thread Name: BS: Nightime leg cramps
Subject: RE: BS: Nightime leg cramps
hi Susan

What's weird about this pain is the totality of legs affected. From top of iliac crest down into my toes, fronts, backs sides. Legs feel achy (not crampy) over full, cold, heavy and like they want to explode.

I thought it was circulatory.

I am pretty good about getting potassium and doing stretches to keep the muscle cramps at bay and doing stretches. I just did a little salt under the tongue trick that Peace advised in PM and they feel a bit better. I don't get much salt in my diet because of BP.

maybe it is only in my mind.
