LEG CRAMPS

7 Replies

So many of you write saying you have leg cramps. I have found that Tonic Water does away with ithe pain. Just take half a tumbler around 8 pm each day to get a peaceful night with no pain and also if you do not like tonic water try magnesium pills instead as they get rid of the cramps as well. Skipson

Bitter lemon is also good. It contains quinine too.

It should do. Just watch out for the sugar in the tonic or bitter lemon if you have issues with weight or diabetes. 😀

Wearing socks in bed does the trick as well I find

Thanks for that I will give it a try. So many people suffer with leg cramps at night that when I found a cure, I just had to share it to help others, but I am going to try wearing socks in bed and see if that works.
