[Scruff55]

I did a great run this morning but have been plagued by various cramps all afternoon any help gratefully received 😧😧😧

Oh no, sorry to hear that ☹️ All I can think of is to stretch if you can, increase your hydration and maybe look at eating some crisps to replace some of the salt you may have lost while exercising? Hope your legs feel better soon!

Thanks for this advice. I’m on the crisps and water. Stretching too. 🙃☹️🙃

“Liking” out of sympathy Scruff!! Everything Beatlesforever said plus Epsom salts in your bath - amazing for sore legs but hard to get hold of at this hour 🤔. In the meantime it’s good to stretch after a bath when your muscles are warm and crucial to hold those stretches long enough to allow the stretch to go deep enough, even to the point of discomfort and then you will feel it ease off. Breathe and relax into the stretch in a yoga kind of way. The more you can relax the better. Hope the pain eases off soon. 🤗

Thanks so much. I’m off for a bath then some more stretches 🙃🙃🙃

Can also be due to calcium or magnesium shortage so maybe a bit of dairy and green veg for supper 😉😊

My hubby swears by tonic water if he's overused his muscles. Personally I'd rather have the cramp 😝
