Spasms

I get leg spasms so bad they actually lift my leg right off the ground. They hurt like he@l! I discovered if one starts, I roll into the kitchen and grab a 250mg of Magnesium tablet. It stops the spasm. It takes about 10-15 minutes, but it's so much better than suffering for an hour or more. I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but it works for me. Good luck to everyone. Hope it works for you!

Are you taking anti spasticity drugs like Baclofen and Tizanadine? I find that it minimizes my spasms. They still hurt like hell and cause me to tighten up against the spasm and react to the typically sharp pain but are not activity threatening.

Hi. Yes, I take both drugs, plus tramadol. The Magnesium helps above and beyond. Thanks for responding to my post.

Yes - take one daily (magnesium) in the hopes of warding off muscle cramping. Always happened in my feet at bedtime, but hasn't since taking it.

So happy someone else found the benefit of Magnesium. I'm happy I'm not imagining it. Thank you!

I’ve had leg (action groin) spasms, also, and similar to yours my leg will lift up uncontrollably. Plus they can be really painful. I’ve had good luck with deep tissue massage, and currently I take 10 mg of Baclofen three times a day.

I tried the magnesium, after you mentioned it, the last two times that my muscles started to spasm and it worked!

Thanks!

My doctor has me taking it to help keep my bones strong anyway.
