manvi replied. Ritu make sure u r getting enuff calcium thru milk&yogurt.Calcium deficiency cld cause these cramps.Similarily potassium deficiency,which you can avoid by having a banana/day as jsri suggested.
If you r getting it too frequently discuss it with your dr.Otherwise massage it&apply some local heat therapy &do the exercse arshiya said it does help.Do take care,i got it twice this week&looking back i realised i skipped my nite dose of a cup of milk! arshiya replied. Hi Ritu,
I get this leg cramps almost every night in both legs and feet and it used to be so painful, I used to cry and jump out of the bed. But, I just found out that as soon you start getting that just try moving your toes towards you and it will automatically go away. It happens to me twice or three times a night and this is the best way to avoid it.
Hope this helps.
Arshiya Sandhya replied. Hi Ritu,
I also get these leg cramps sometimes. It's really painful but mine go away after a few minutes when I massage the area a bit. If you find it painful to get up and massage (like it happens to me sometimes), ask your hubby to massage it for you. It usually will go away after a couple of minutes of massage to the area!
Hope this helps you...
Sandhya jsri replied. hi ritu,
i had faced the same problem couple of wks back.well just try to walk if possible,i know it hurts terribly but it also helps.somebody suggested me to drink milk before bedtime and also said to have a banana .i donno know how far that helps ,but try to do some leg massage before going to bed.

i wish u won't get it again.
bye takecare.
