Muscle spasms

[Juleshun66]

Hi guys I am new on here and just wanted to know does anyone else get really bad muscle spasms in their hamstring/ thigh muscles…I am having a traumatic time with them especially after any activity…even walking my dog round the block.

Hello

Yes I get spasms and twitches in my legs a lot and especially in those areas. It often feels like my muscles are trying to twist into knots. It's horrible and I'm sorry if you're going through something similar.

Baths help while I'm in them and I take painkillers as needed.

I get really bad muscle spasms in both my legs and they have caused me to have falls in the past.

I've heard that sometimes that can be a nutrient deficiency. Maybe ask your doctor to check if you are getting enough magnesium or potassium or whatever?

Hi, also gentle exercise, & stretching of the muscles can help, especially your leg muscles. Don’t over do it though, as you might find it makes them worse.

I also get leg spasms (as well as spasms in other places also), especially in the morning as I am waking up.

physio massage, magnesium malate in the morning and magnesium glycinate in the evening, lots of water, omega 3, curcumin, stay off the sugar and wheat, thats what helped me

I brought a magnesium spray from amazon, I use it at night and this seems to help with the night spasms. You can also try a gp prescription of muscle relaxants.
