A member asked:
What can i do for nightime leg cramps when i have to be careful of my fluid and pottasium intake. i am also on torosimide and flurosimide.?

Check veins : Irritation of muscles due to overwork, swelling can result in cramping. Abnormalities in electrolytes like potassium, calcium can precipitate cramping, but venous insufficiency is a more common cause. Go to www.Phlebology.Org, and seek advice of a phlebologist in your area. For now try stretching exercises prior retiring in the evening.
