I am a dancer and i would love to know how to be able to relieve thigh and glute cramps. they are really painful and can stop me from dancing?

I would see your doc: You doc needs to run some lab tests. You may have a potassium depletion. You may just have a cramp. There is an over the counter remedy called "emergent - c" with glucosamine chond. Take this powdered vitamin with some gaterade and see if the cramps subside.
