Leg Cramps: Home Remedies and Treatments

[minepow909]

This just happen ..... Owwwwww :(

[4everhogwarts]

The other night I was straightening my leg and flexing my foot in bed, and suddenly like my whole leg just froze up. Its really scary cause you don't know why you it won't move.

[offstride1]

Didn't know they took qunine off the market. For me I may get one once in a while and then none for a very long time. Years go by and then I wake up with one. Why am I here now? I've had 2 in just the past few days after 4 or 5 years without them.

[Joseph7033]

Right now my dad is having a bad leg cramp as I type this. Hang in there dad!

[midgedanny1]

The last 2 times yesterday and last night i used a small heater and it helped, They are agonizing they hurt so bad.....I was in the hospital emergency room for vertigo and while the doctor was asking me questions I got a horrible leg cramp, I had to slide out the bottom of the bed , the bars were up and I could not get out the side I also had tubes in me, that is how bad they are....

[Knoxerboy101]

When you get one in the middle of the night the thing I found that works best for me is simply placing your entire foot flat on the ground, I normally set mine down toe the slowly to my heel. Once my heel is fully on the ground the pain goes away. I hope this helps you guys, I know this pain well and this works every time.

[SuperAngelo13]

Fuck i just woke up with cramps on both my legs. screaming like a bitch

[midgedanny1]

@SuperAngelo13 That happens to me a lot, it is horrible and takes a while to go away..

[OriginalRipndip]

My bed smells like soap now BTW. I finally can be on time to work

[OriginalRipndip]

What if u get the cramp in ur abdomen like I did, what stretch then?

[xxhumblepiexx]

I got a cramp in my calf last night before I went to bed and I thought I was gonna die. I could feel this huge knot in the muscle whenever it really hurt. A hot water bottle seemed to relieve it.

[NiKKiBSEXCii]

oh fuck i got mustard, i have an ARM CRAMP OKAY BYE!

[Dinocrap1101]

guess i'm fucked then, have had constant leg cramps for about a month now and have tried all that and vitamin supplements.

[Bercola1]

I WAS TOLD DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER OR GATORADE WAS GOOD ESPECIALLY IF YOU TAKE EVERYDAY MEDICATION

[DontFriendInviteMe]

I tried something new last night. Took a hot bath right before bed, NO pointing your toes! and massaged leg muscles in hot water. Afterward, I added a couple of drops of peppermint oil (the type you can buy for candy making) into some body lotion and massaged it into my calves .... NO CRAMPS ALL NIGHT LONG! WOOHOO! That was the FIRST night in a week that I didn't have to get out of bed at night in pain!

[cberetz]

Quellitall got rd of all my night leg cramps.

[klimtkiller]

[SuckMyCocks8llllllD]

and after you wake up you can take a shower without soap

[Megalodon64]

@SuckMyCocks8llllllD EWWW!!!!



[SuckMyCocks8llllllD]

@Megalodon64 Oh Yeah lol

[novabob62]

last night I was woken up with a cramp in my calf. and after 14 hours it Very sore still. It was the worst one I ever had. I was pretty much in tears after that episode.

[KevinZS]

I hate it when everytime I get the leg cramp, I notice it a little too late before the cramp creeps into my leg.

[niah161]

i hate leg cramps

[kavian15]

I did, im in pain now

[joelortiz85]

wonder who else besides me jus got a leg cramp n went to youtube for help?

[midgedanny1]

@joelortiz85 I just did after having them for a couple of years even the doctor said there is nothing to do but try drinking qunine water..

[Dilldodon]

i had a leg cramp then i pooped and it went away so all you have to do is poop it out

[ppbino1]

is he kidding or serious

[69ingchipmunks1995]

I did the pickel juice one and I almost threw up it tasted so bad. But it did work

[Amp5549]

2 teaspoons of mustard works as well

[mikeyg3733]

who else just woke up from a nap with a really bad leg cramp

[cberetz]

The best way to get rid of leg cramps is Quellitall. This video was made before Quellitall became available for sale.

[666hatemail]

bullshit

[TimePeaces]

Thank you sooo much. The post about calcium is good also,

Also Diet drinks with Appertain can cause cramps.

Thx again L8tr

[LoricaLady]

Unfortunately this doesn't much address the underlying issue. Why is one getting a leg cramp? Calcium deficiency? Some kinds of minerals or electrolytes or vitamins needed?

[CoNNoRCfC22]

No wat gets them a way sitting on your chair for a week without doing any exercise and it shall be fine or if u don't have a week do a big pooooo and throw it off ur neighbours window that helps me

[DreadlockDrummer]

ive had so many calf cramps that i figured out a way to get rid of them, when i get one, even though it hurts like a bitch, i straighten my leg out, and grab my toes and pull my toes towards my stomach and stretch my leg that way, it like pulls the muscle out of the cramp, works every time.

[WHATNAMECANIFUKINUSE]

what the hell is mustard and pickles doing in the medicine isle?!

[tareqafandi26]

i jack off and it relieves it

[Mr050232]

My wife is suffering from these horrible leg cramps. She is diabetic' suffering from heart disease & mild B.P. She is on various types of pills including diuretics. Can a good samaritan can suggests some home remedy or homeopathic remedy etc.......

I shall feel obliged.

[Charlesrocks]

Dill Pickle Juice! It makes running much easier.

[rosemarie443]

@Charlesrocks well dill pickle juice is vinager, so if you take 2 tablespoons of apple vinegar then that should work?

[Don123q]

Bicep femoris cramps hurt like a bitch

[tank900rr]

Usually a large supreme pizza helps...oh and don't forget the ice cream afterwards!

[planetmigz21]

can i try it all if one didn't work for me??

i have a severe leg crump in result of that,,.high fever,,

i'm having a 4 days consecutive fever

[Jakey92407]

It's gross but take a few sips of cider vinegar. It stops cramps immediately!

[DontFriendInviteMe]

@Jakey92407 If you put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into a cup of "tap hot" water with a teaspoon of honey, it only tastes bad about a week. After that it tastes like drinking a cup of warm lemonade. I got busy in life this year and stopped drinking it. This past week I've been terrorized with calf cramps at night that keep me awake for hours. I didn't realize until looking up leg cramps today, that it had something to do with suppressing them.

[killerkennex]

So why did the Troll bite the purified television out of the thongs?

He could atleast buy forty chopsticks for a dusty cloud so that the hacking would eat a potato.

[XxRobertBoyxX]

Isnt there any other way :/ then tablets and medicines god sake am 15 and i get leg cramps all the time i hate them. and the pain :(

[honjohn0007]

Holy Sweet Jesus, I just got a cramp in my dick.Hot damn but that do hurt.

[angieskidney]

Cramps are often caused by an electrolyte deficiency (Potassium, Sodium, Calcium and Magnesium) but I never knew about these other tricks that work! Thanks for this vid. I get calf cramps real bad in the middle of the night that wake me up!

[MarkLaszutko]

Stretch your leg straight out, grab your big toe and pull it towards you, the pain goes away instantly, hold it like this for a few seconds and then release. if ti comes back repeat :D

[churchpastor1]

wow abar of soap actualy works

[honjohn0007]

IMy old lady likes it when I get cramps in my dick.It gets as hard as Japanese Arithmetic.

[yoyopeter226]

@honjohn0007 HAHAHAH

[KaiXevandStanley]

Easy solution- Drink lots of water as soon as you start getting cramp. This really works very fast.

[DontFriendInviteMe]

@KaiXevandStanley I've been told by so many people that I don't drink enough water, but that's impossible. I drink large cups of water all day at work. There is no way I don't get enough water. Might work for some, but water isn't the answer for me.

[vrghiks]

It's easy to catch a Rabbit by sprinkling

salt on it's tail.

[Tantoin]

Pickles and Mustard may work because they have a high salt content, it is the salt which is what is being replenished, also electrolyte drinks are high in salt. Potassium is supposed to be one of the other main things needed.

[Jinxxed0]

omg dude i just had one too. i woke up from a dream about starwars or something and then my calf started cramping. omgs

what i do is i drink a whole bottle of water (its easy when you're in so much pain and want to get rid of it.and get myself hydrated. right now i just drunk a whole bottle of water, ate an orange (a lot fruits like oranges are 70% water) and I rubbed to lotion on (never did that before but i was desperate) i also walked around and thought of jokes.pain died in 5-7 mins

[WoWbob396]

looooooool dude i hate that, i just wake up and strech my leg then it cramps like ultra hard for about a minute.

[DontFriendInviteMe]

@Jinxxed0 "rubbed with lotion" that's what I had to do last night. I was having cramps in both calves AND shins. Usually with a calf cramp I sit on the edge of the sofa & put most of my weight on the ball of my foot, stretching out the calf while massaging with lotion, this time doing any movement just caused a cramp on the opposite side of my legs. I'm going to try going back to apple cider vinegar & honey water. For the love of God I hope it works. I hardly sleep anymore.

[Jinxxed0]

@DontFriendInviteMe i find that eating bananas (if you can make it to the store) helps a lot. I try to eat them every once in a while. And I'll drink a whole bottle of water and try to walk around. I havent gotten too many cramps lately. i hope you feel better. cramps suck >.<

[DontFriendInviteMe]

@Jinxxed0 bananas never worked for me. I don't think my problem is potassium. It isn't water either, because I drink a lot of that at work, and I walk around 6 hours of the day. I'm 45, maybe I've been working out too hard for my age. I'd been "exer-swimming" for a couple of weeks. I started back at drinking apple cider vinegar & honey water today. We'll see how that works. Thanks.

[felixthemaster1]

ahahahahaah! the pedialyte has the word "pedo" in it. and there is a bear!

go pedo bear! ahahaha

[felixthemaster1]

i sleep soo deep that i suffer in dream and then i wake up with an extreme pain in my leg reminding me of the midnight struggle

[tzaiwei]

same here, fuck it.

[felixthemaster1]

people told me its because of the cold. is that true?

[tzaiwei]

nah dont think so

i stay in singapore

its hot all year round

but all the cramps that wake me up in the middle of the night are often the results of strenuous exercise.

[felixthemaster1]

oh rite. thats why. what kind of excersise do you do?

[tzaiwei]

hmm, i play soccer and run a whole lot.

[tzaiwei]

you?

[felixthemaster1]

well, i am slightly overweight. and i am XTREMELY shy so i try to act like all the others. i walk and run as fast a thin person. so i guess, i have storng leg power

[MarieGFlowers]

Read the book The Miracle of Magnesium by Dr. Carolyn Dean. Leg cramps and other muscle spasms are just one symptom of low magnesium levels. Most are deficient and blood tests don't show it as only 1% of mag is in the blood stream. JigsawHealth has good mag product, or use magnesium oils. Avoid magnesium oxide because of diarrhea and mag absorption is too low- only 4%.

[boozika2000]

try Anti Leg Cramps by King Pharma - It's based on magnesium from the dead sea, and it's an amazing product, works from the first night.

[LisaLLogan]

A couple of asprin work right away. I keep a bottle next to my bed.

[jayguy173]

mix it all together for a leg cramp shake

[OneSweetWorldLIOG]

@jayguy173 perhaps a smoothie

[leayne]

DRINK 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dill pickle juice and your leg cramps will be gone in a matter of minutes!!!

[sk8erpunk327]

i had baseball games all weekend and i tried drinking pickle juice and it didnt work.

Anything else?

[RoyalDog214]

Try eating Banana which is high in potassium, also helps.

[elthizzg]

[SerbPrideWorldWide]

I only get cramps after i play a soccer game.I start cramping up everywhere on my left calf..etc IT KILLS especially when i wake up with one uggghhhhh

[1bethechange]

i wake up with my feet curled tight, i call it chicken feet. a nurse practioner told me to try tonic water. it worked but then i found hylands at wild oats and it is much more convenient.

[hhoguru232004]

remidies I know that work list in effectiveness order. 1. Lidoderm patches applied to the calf muscle daily.prescrip only. 2. Apple cider vinegar one shot followed by 12oz glass of water. 3. Tonic water or leg cramp tabs at CVS over the counter. 4. Bottle of pedialite before bed

5. Daily banana. These are the things I know work and work well in order of efficetiveness. these are my own results of what works for me. You may be diffrent but these legs cramps are killer

[wascman]

Interesting video!

[homeschoolmom42]

Most cramps in legs (Charlie Horses) are caused by a lack of calcium. Take 1200 mg of calcium a day and within a week your cramps should be gone. If your cramps aren't gone within 10 days, then you will know it isn't calcium, but most people will notice their cramps are gone.

[DishwasherBlonde]

I heard mustard packets on your nightstand works well. Premeasured teaspoon, ready to go, anytime, convience.

[lesan5]

i hate wen it happens to me.........wat causes it anyways?
