Muscle Spasms or Cramps

Hughes-Comrade profile image

Greetings from Arizona . Long time since I've been in here.

Just curious if anyone else gets really bad cramps.. legs, calves, hips? Yesterday I yawned and had a big cramp come out of nowhere under my chin downwards in front of my windpipe. They seem to be getting worse. I drink enough water, a banana a day.. I also take magnesium , B-12, B Complex, vitamin D-3 with K2, Liposoma Vit C. I've had muscle spasms since high school mainly in my back and chest.

Any experiences or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Take care all and Blue Skies to All.

Hello Mary, Holly and Kelly!

Yes! More especially in cold weather. I have chewable Magnesium tablets which are about the only thing that seem to help.

Hi, nice to hear from you, I often get bad cramps (wake me in night) in legs especially in arch of feet and toes! Occasionally in my jaw, not found any common cause or answer. Maybe you've hit on another symptom?

I get the same exact one in my arch and toes. Thank you for your reply.

Hello, Hughes Comrade!

Great to hear from you again.

Those cramps are weird and wild. I can have them from time to time, but the chest, back, and windpipe sound ,“next level“ painful.

When was the last time your iron ( includingferritin levels ) were checked?

Blue skies! ( it’s time for my husband to get his IFR updated again.) We’ve been logging a crazy amount of hours lately with work… west Texas and New Mexico.

Hope you are well otherwise .

Happy new year
