How to sstop cramps in finger&toes?

Determine the cause: If consistent with "restless leg syndrome", then bedtime drug therapy might be helpful. Excluding Ca/Mg, potassium & muscle disorders should be excluded, often seen with diuretic agents, chronic malabsorption (often w/diarrhea), & sometimes statins. Bilateral symptoms rarely indicate sciatica or related spinal conditions.

Cramps: Drink more water. Bananas. Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) helps with acute cramps as well
