Anyone with leg cramps come on in!

I have been having a problem with leg cramps & charley horses. I mentioned it to my doc today cause my thigh has been going numb as well. I drink over a gallon of water a day so increasing my water is not an option. My doc told me to go swimming. Walk  around a pool it will help and a half hour before bed eleT URL feet and legs as far above your heart as you can to help blood flow. I am elevating my feet as I type hopefully it helps. Thought I would share with all you ladies! Good night and happy 4th!!!

  • No pool around here so water exercise isn't an option. My midwife said to increase my calcium, magnesium, and potassium. (She did warn me that the mag can cause issues with IBS and make you poop like crazy if you've already got an irritable bowel, so I'm skipping the mag for now.)
