i do not have much experience in this but I have a suggestion.The cramps are probably due to inadequate use of the muscles.You can loosen them by simple physical exercises that any physiotherapist can teach you.Or,even better,practice suryanamaskars few times every day.I have got rid of low back pain due to disc degeneration by doing simple physical exercises regularly.

Use long stockings which can cover upto knees. This will help to avert cramps.

This is a case of vit.B12 deficiency common in diabetics. Its injections are easily available in markets or u can purchase NUROKIND+ injections. Injections are a better choice for quick relief.

I can suggest one simple thing to get a great relief.

Pls keep a small bottle of kerosene and another bottle with powder salt.

when one gets cramps, v have to mix a small portion of kerosene with salt and apply it on the affected area.

one will get instant relief.

i am one of the beneficiary of this great combination.

pls try this and if it helps u can pass this to ur friends

Probably it is due to less intake of water or dehydration. Always take lots of water. It will reduce cramps & also will help in better blood sugar level control .

I usually get leg cramps at night. I immediately stand up, inspite of it being painful,

An at once the cramps disappear. Another method which I have been told and follow is, to have a cup of water before sleeping. Even at night in case I get up to go to the loo, I drink some water. This I find also helped. Also if you can wear warm stockings at night. I hope it benefits you too.

To Mr. Sivaraman, For immediate help Many drugs in the class of muscle relaxants will help you. See a doctor. Chances are your vitamin B12 levels may be low.for that you may have to take vit.B12 1000 iu as intra muscular injection once a month for few months.It may take many weeks or months to see the full benefit.
