Muscle Cramp in Legs..Yea!

[Bad Balance]

Thought that the legs were gone. Nice to feel that familiar pain again.

Atrophy sets in quickly...force yourself to keep pushing.

I have cramps in my calf muscles but only when I sleep. I take 4mg of Zanaflex and 40mg of Baclofen at night to help. I still get them but they are much less intense and usually go away in a few minutes.

I have only had cramp a handful of times while at rest,i have had cramp infront thigh muscles when trying to walk that leaves me imobile.............anyone had that.

Yes, BB, we can't let up for a minute it seems! When I get those cramps at the end of the day I try very hard to smile to myself and say 'well, I lived life today to 'my' max.'

Yes...I, too, believe in pushing oneself to MOVE ...it keeps that electrical connection active between your brain and your limbs...

I know I've probably said this about a million times on this forum but if you stay hydrated you will avoid muscle cramps. I started drinking lots of fluids through out day several years ago and have never felt another muscle cramp anywhere since then.

I only get cramps when I have overdone on walking or standing for the day. But havent really had them since I have been back from California. I guess there I was really up too much and overdid. Now I can hardly walk across the floor my legs are still so weak. Very frustrating. But the cramps haven't been because I have been resting.

I'd like to second Elaine's motion, and suggest we move swiftly to a vote thereon. Actually, that's just a formality since it will be unanimous, so I declare Johnny the king of style!

We could have a whip round and order a small, yet stylish, trophy for him...

 

[vickim]

Here!Here! I second that. Hail to the king of style Johnny!

A banana a day helps keep the cramps away...potassium ..........(Hail Johnny...)

Cramps suck. My hands cramp into horrible positions and are very painful. the legs only cramp lately if I overdo it..the baclofen and zanaflex or valium help with the leg cramps for me.

hope something helps you with them, Balance! I did better when it was warmer and I walked every day--but then, I have different issues, I'm sure. A slow walk with my handy dandy walker did wonders for me when i could get out to do them.

Johhny, you are such a scallywag, I bet your wife doesn't read your posts! I would say if you are half as handsome on the outside as you are on the inside your wife melts every time you look her way.
