A member asked:

During my menstrual cycle i have the horrible leg pains. i've been taking magnesium twice a day. is there any thing that i can do to alleviate this.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual cramps and: muscle pains can be alleviated with anti-inflammatories such as Motrin/Ibuprofen while taking magnesium. Try it and let us know if you are better. Ibuprofen 400-600 mg three times a day with food.
