I already take magnesium.
Darn good question, I got them every so often as a kid in the summer when I was spending hours in the lake or running about.
Grandmother called them growing pains, I was very active so it was not lack of activity. Lunch was most times a Banana with peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff , no lack in diet.
I don't remember getting pains in the winter, just the summer time.
Flash forward 40 years or so, I had not had this problem after I turned 12 and now with the [Change ]
and hot flashes here it came again. Both cramps and restless leg-------
I can go a couple years with none of this foolishness and then have a couple of painfull nights in a row to have it gone again.
Hubby was a skater in his younger years and taught me how to stretch to releave both cramps and restless legs, get a belt and place foot in the loop and put pressure on the belt.
