I keep getting cramps in my calves and in my knees. Anyone else?

    I was just posting on this.  I have been getting the worst cramps in my tummy (different from RLP) and they are shooting down my legs to my knees and in my hips.  I can barely get off the couch.  I forgot to think about dehydration.  They aren't in my calfs, although I get those as well at night.

    Make sure to stay hydrated, and during a leg cramp flex your foot to relieve it.

    I asked my doc about this when I was pregnant w/ DD. He said it's a lack of magnesium that causes it (not always potassium like everyone thinks). He said to try a supplement called Cal-Mag. I would ask your doc about it if the cramping continues or gets really bad...it's so annoying esp when your trying to sleep!
