Leg cramps

Hi, every night no joke my husband gets leg cramps so bad he is almost paralized and he screems so loud the neighbors thnk I am abusing him. What the heck is going on?

Answer #1

try melatonin 3,mg it works foe me

Answer #2

thats not a great big deal.when you have a cramp put your legs into cold water for 5-6 minuts…

Answer #3

use Deep Heat Spray

Answer #4

It sounds like he’s not getting enough potassium. Just have him eat more bananas and you should be fine. When I get leg cramps I put all my weight on the leg that is cramping and it helps stretch it out

Answer #5

I have also been through his pain a lot,whenever he get’s the leg cramps,make him walk around the house putting a bit of his weight on that leg,stretch out with him for at least 15 minutes,once he feels better cuddle with him so you guys can have a good night sleep. But make sure he doesn’t sleep on that leg.

Answer #6

That would be my suggestion as well–potassium deficiency can cause awful cramping. )= Funny though, when I was growing up I had those leg cramps all the time!! They’re called growing pains (no joke–I researched it when I was going thru nursing school). What would we call them as adults? Lol He may want to see his Dr at his next annual exam and have his potassium checked. (•=

Answer #7

I agree with the first answer, bad leg cramps at night is usually because of a lack of potassium and magnesium. you can get supplements over the counter at a pharmacy to help with this issue.

furthermore is he having difficulty walking during the day and getting up, plus maybe back pain? then it could be an indication of something more serious and I would recommend taking him to a doctor. Also the fact that he is screaming could be an indication that it is very serious.
