How do you stop night cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1) diagnose 2) treat: Need to find cause of night cramps before discussing treatment options. You didn't mention taking any diuretics or other medications. Perhaps your salts & minerals are out of balance. If so, supplemental potassium or magnesium (whichever is necessary) might help. Try stretching calves before bedtime. Speaking of which, you didn't even mention which muscles are cramping up. Any change in activity?
