A member asked:

Why do i always get a leg cramp (one leg, always the same one), about a week before menstruation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible Causes ...: Hello, Cramping in the legs usually indicates some form of dehydration, a need for stretching or an electrolyte imbalance. When my patients supplement the above to causes they usually see good results. Feel Better!
