Muscle cramps in calves Posted: 07-14-08 10:33am


Hello, I am a 23 year old female. I have recently been waking up with sever cramping in one of my calves. Sometimes it's in my left calve and the next time it may be in my right. It almost brings me to tears. I have not been under any stress latley and I am not sure what is causing this. Some mornings I will wake up ok, but when I go to strech my legs I get a bad cramp from just stretching. Is there something that my body may be low on??? What can I do to try and prevent this from happening?

try taking magnesium--it will help alleviate the cramps and give your body what you need for them not to cramp. exercise can also bring this on.
