- Jigsaw Health has access to amazing scientists, healers, and teachers. We plan to bring you these educational videos on a weekly basis.
The inaugural video is about muscle cramps.
You've probably experienced both kinds of muscle cramps before, and probably didn't even realize there was a difference.
There's the types of "cramps" you get where you're being active (running, biking, playing a sport) and you start to "bonk."
Then there's the other type of muscle cramps that wake you up in the middle of the night, clutching at your legs as they "seize" up!
You probably already knew that mineral deficiency caused cramping, which mineral deficiency causes which type of cramp?
Two members of Jigsaw's Business & Scientific Advisory Board (www.jigsawhealth.com/about#board) -- Dr. Decker Weiss (Naturopathic Cardiologist) & Thomas DeLauer (aka. "Mr. Mineral") -- unpack the simple, yet important difference, and which mineral deficiency leads to each type of muscle cramp.
Jigsaw Electrolyte Supreme™ contains both Potassium & Magnesium, by design. www.jigsawhealth.com/supplemen...
(It was also recently NSF Certified for Sport® (www.jigsawhealth.com/blog/jigs..., which means what's on the label is in the bottle, and nothing else. It's totally free of all banned substances, and safe to use for NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA, Olympians, etc.)

anyone just watching this and found yourself wiping the screen thinking something was on it! 😂
yes several times lol
SUMMARY: cramp at the beginning would be a magnesium cramp. Potassium cramps at middle or the end of a work. sleeping cramps is magnesium cramp. Potassium cramp is easy to replenish. Magnesium needs a quality source. Potassium is early absorbed.
Magnesium malate is what you want not magnesium oxide
How about Magnesium L-Threonate aka Magtein
How about Triple Calm which has 3 types of magnesium?
@@ceeebeee2294 I hope you have calcium in there also magnesium doesn't work well out it, and if you're a man zinc would be advisable
@@MarylandGuy-ey3st why magnesium malate? whats the difference?
Thank you Both ! I've been looking for an answer to this question about which mineral deficiency might be responsible for these cramps. Great simple to understand explanation.
This is the best explanation I've heard. Thank you.
Thank you Thomas, your videos are always super informative and well presented.
Great content, thank you both!
Very informative explanation between the differences of the two. Thumbs up!
so informative. thank you so much!
I really needed this explanation, thank you!
I am so grateful for this information!
I switched to IODIZED SALT. Many types of salt are no longer sold with iodine. Not only that, but the salts in processed foods are typically not fortified with iodine. I had been on the Keto diet for over a year and I was using Morton Lite Salt because it included Potassium. I also took supplements for potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc... but I had overlooked iodine because nobody ... and I mean NOBODY online was mentioning iodine deficiency as a possible cause. Many salts are now being sold without iodine, so many people may be in this situation and nobody is telling them that iodine deficiency may be the cause. If iodine deficiency is your cause, then it's an easy fix~! Try out the iodized salt or get yourself some iodine supplements and give it a try. An iodine deficiency can have many other bad repercussions. Check it out~!
I eat seaweed
I take iodine everyday, but started donating plasma twice a week a little over a month ago, and just this morning got one of those painful cramps in my calf.. It's not typical for me, but to me, it seems there must be a connection with plasma donation, and the cramp I never get: something to do with what is in the plasma part of the blood.. What ever it is, has prevented leg cramps for me until donating plasma.. I guess I will start eating a banana after each donation, and hoping that will keep the bad buggers away.. Take care..
@@nancyflores843 Remember that most of the donations just get thrown away every year because they don’t last even when frozen.
Why don’t you donate less often. After all, women bleed monthly. Ask your health professional MD or ARNP.
I donate because I need the extra money.. I was widowed this year, and I have no skills. I am a fifty-four year old widow with two adult autistic children.. I do however believe, that a lack of Iodine in my diet when I was pregnant, may have been a factor in my children's autism.. Iodine is very important. Thanks.
@@Hisloyalservantslistenlove613c
Thanks , dr berg says if youre eye brows are coming out its a sign of A lack iodine , I didn't know that it will also cause it , I eat the lite salt it has iodine and eat kelp . I thought my cramps after sweating are from lacking potassium now I'm wondering if its the iodine also . I sweat more than normal hyperhydrosis ,
Thanks for this fabulous explanation
Thank you!👍 Great explaination.
Wow! Thank you so much for this!
Finally, explained perfectly. Thank you.
Oh wow. Glad I came across this video. I have been having random cramps since I was a kid. And up to date, been having cramps almost everywhere, from hands, legs, chin/jaw, waist, thigh. And it's pretty annoying. Usually gets worst when it's cold. And I am very sensitive to cold too 😢
My doctors says i need to wear something for the legs and not just in shorts or undies. Keep your legs warm. From empirical evidence, I believe there is some truth to that; however, it doesn't take care of all the cramps. I still get cramps. Here is what helps me:
Have some mustard packets readily available. It's either the turmeric or the vinegar in mustard that does it. Learned this from some Pickle ball friend's of mine. It's been a lifesaver because I get frequent cramps. I just found out today that mustard contains magnesium. Good luck and pass it on if it helps you.
I thought I was the only one who got chin/jaw cramps 🤯🫤
Great video!
It would have been beneficial for you to ask the doctor how we are to distinguish a "well absorbing magnesium".
Not just Magnesium but Potassium. With so many different types who knows what type to use for what, ex: L-Threonate is for the brain or Magnesium Taurate and oratate for blood pressure/ Cardiovascular/ vessels heart/ blood sugar. If the Dr can't define this to the people what than are the people to grasp?
i've spent a few hours reading about various kinds of magnesium. nobody seems to agree on anything being good for cramps except soaking in epsom salts. one place authoritatively recommends citrate, which is a laxative. how can i get magnesium to my muscles please...
@@sheldondrake8935 Magnesium and potassium work together.
@@sheldondrake8935 i tried the Epsom salts and that has definitely helped with muscle tension.
@@sheldondrake8935 Have some mustard packets readily available. It's either the turmeric or the vinegar in mustard that does it. Learned this from some Pickle ball friend's of mine. It's been a lifesaver because I get frequent cramps. I get them mostly in the inner thighs and in my opinion they are a lot more painful than on the calves. It works! We all now carry packets of mustard with us when we play pickle ball or do sports. I have them next to the night stand as well. It has saved me many times from prolong cramps. I remember thinking in the past how amazingly fast mustard works through your body from the time you suck on the packet of mustard and within a a typical minute or two the cramp subsided. I just learned today that mustard contains magnesium. I told my neighbor who suffers from frequent cramps and his wife would run to the fridge to get the bottle of mustard whenever he gets a cramps. If it works for you too then pass it on as cramps are no fun at all!
Right to the point. Great job on the video. ❤
For a long time we were taking calcium for those night leg cramps🦵. It turned out the calcium we were taking had magnesium in the pills, so that was why they worked. 🤸♂️
Anyhow nice to be able to know if its Potassium or Magnesium. Thank you!
Great video.
Nicely done.
Extraordinary video !
What is “well absorbed magnesium source” ?
Mg Glycinate worked for me.
Awesome video and great to know. Just had one after fasting with coffee,salt and water exactly 72 hours.
I was sound asleep in a dream where I was running.
Calf cramp felt like it was going to tear itself into 2 pieces for around a minute or more awful pain.
Thank you both for sharing
Jackpepper have you found a cure for your leg cramps?
Wow thanks for this video! I have night cramps calf, toes, top foot or muscle in front of my leg to ankle.
I have magnesium deficiency!
Yes you certainly do.Take magnesium glycinate 600 to 800 mg a day.Magnesium glycinate is the best kind of magnesium because it won't give you diarrhea like most other kinds of magnesium.Good luck.
Take ZMA... Contains zinc which helps.
My situation to a T. They wake me up in the middle of night. For some reason yellow mustard (the cheap, hot dog kind) provides relief within minutes. It just involves crawling in pain to the fridge where the yellow mustard stands sentinel & easy to reach and then literally drinking it from the bottle. Not dignified but it does the trick.
Some say it's the turmeric but IDK because the amount is minimal.
@@alphaangel4219 Thank you. It’s 3 am and I have woken up twice already with very painful multiple leg cramps. I take magnesium Bisglycinate everyday for several months and the first time I woke up with them, I put magnesium oil on my legs which obviously didn’t help because woke up a few hours later again with them. I just tried some yellow mustard so I will see if that helps. I have heard people chug pickle juice as well. It sounded gross but I am desperate.
Should i take this before bed
Sooooo, some magnesium rich foods would be avocados and cashews if you get a cramp in the middle of the night. I have noticed that if I keep my blood sugar low/under control and take some apple cider vinegar/lemon juice/stevia cocktail amongst liberal amounts of water well before bedtime I don’t need to go to the bathroom as much, therefore I stay more hydrated, and therefore less cramping! Cramping has everything to do with being dehydrated! I am sure the lack of other minerals play a part in it if you work out intensely but I have found dehydration from having to get up three times a night to go to the bathroom to be the common denominator, whether you work out or not.
Thank you so much im in so much pain right now 😢.
Thank you!
Thanks for the data on magnesium and potassium cramps. What about sodium?
Thank you for your video! I havendiabetes which is fdmous for causing leg cramps. But diabetic(or compression socks) do mot help. I wm also on dialysis so I have to limit my potassium intake. I get tight crwmps whenever i stretch in the middle of the night. Its like stretching triggers the cramps?
Any recommendations of high quality magnesium and potassium?
VERY useful video.
Thank you for tuning in!
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. You may want to try using a Magnesium oil, ... spray on or massage into the skin all around the cramp to help it get absorbed more quickly to the affected area. Also taking an epsom salt bath will help the body absorb Magnesium quite well to relax sore muscles throughout the entire body... It works well for me personally. Hope it helps for you too! :) For Potassium, I personally use a little Potassium citrate ( only like a quarter of a teaspoon) to an acv drink or a pre-workout drink for a boost. Most of your potassium really should come from natural food sources though. And beware of the different varieties of potassium as some can cause severe health problems if not properly diagnosed or prescribed. The Citrate version, in small amounts, is considered to be realtively safe from my understanding... but I'm not a scientist nor a doctor so just my 2 cents from what I've learned.
I use a mineral spray as well. So Epsom salt baths help absorb magnesium? Thanks as I didn't know. (For some reason those baths make my toes numb!)
@@alphaangel4219 The epsom salt is in fact a magnesium variety and is very well absorbed through the skin. Not sure about the numb toes,... maybe an issue with the heat of the water and /or an autoimmune disorder of sorts perhaps??? That has me stumped. 🤷♂️
@@alphaangel4219 I had an episode of numb toe due to lack of calcium, you might want to connect this with the magnesium in epsom, because of calcium-magnesium relationship
I’ve been using Magnesium oil gel to massage into legs and feet before sleeping. Even with putting coconut or argan oil on my skin first, it irritated my skin. It only seems to *not* irritate the bottoms of my feet, so I massage it in there at bedtime. I haven’t tried the Epsom salt bath yet…
What is a good brand of magnesium and potassium for leg cramps?
Thomas, I know this video is pretty old, but I'm glad I found it. I have been getting horrible cramps at night in my toes, and calves, but during the day when I'm drawing, I get cramps in my fingers, and my knuckles look like their out of joint.
Thank you for info. I didn't know low magnesium could be an issue. I've had cramps still after taking potassium pills DAILY. 👍
Been waiting for 53 years for someone to tell me this. Thank you so much ❤
I take a good magnesium every day and started getting Charlie horses in the last week. (Also pregnant). The supplement I stopped taking since pregnant has been TAURINE. The integrative Dr. I work for says that taurine helps with muscle cramps. When I started taking taurine and magnesium everyday it really helped to take away my charlie horses. I recommend TAURINE. 1000mg 2-3xday or more if severe, then a maintenance dose, of like 1-2x/day.
that good magnesium you mentioned that caused cramps.....which one was it?
oxide, asperate, and glutinate are not good.
Such great information here. 😊
Carbohydrates use potassium and magnesium to be assimilated in the body. This means that overeating carbohydrates can deplete your K ( potassium ) levels and also your Mg ( magnesium ) levels.
Dr Eric Berg said the same thing on one of his videos.
Ohhhhhhhhh.
Today i broke my 6months keto diet, by eating about 250g carbs, then go to a hard exercise. I got insane cramp on my legs.
I was supplementing salt, potassium and magnesium, but this would make sense.
Carbohydrates have never been an issue for me. I just needed to up my nutrient intake. Our processed doesn't have nearly enough nutrients that we need.
Also, taking extra vitamin D3 requires extra magniesium. As long as I'm taking at least 5000 IV vitamin D3 a day, I need at least an extra 200 mg of magnesium a day from other sources than our regular food (supplements, kachava shakes, etc.).
“Gotcha” doc thanks a lot
I rode my bicycle 116 miles yesterday and I had horrific painful muscle spasms in the night. I had to lay on the floor and push my foot against the bottom of my sofa because standing on it did not seem to help as much as should. Took some potassium tablets and eventually was able to fall asleep after a couple of hours
I get an upper thigh cramp when I internally rotate my foot, can it be related to bone spur I have between L4 and L5? What the best treatment for that? I’m getting my back injected next week but this cramp grabs me a couple of times a day!
My toes cramp when I am stretching. I was low on iron and addressed that with iron injections. I’ve been taking magnesium for several months and recently added prescription grade potassium (750 mg). Still getting loads of toe cramps during stretch routine. Just doing a simple luncheon stretch, when I lay the top of my foot on the floor, my toes I’m medically cramp. Thoughts?
Same
So if I'm rolling over and reaching for something in bed and get cramp in pec and or hamstring that's magnesium
I think he forgot to say how important calcium is in takin magnesium it works better if you take both also zinc men need it for their prostate, which you never think about unless you start having issues with it, remember if you take magnesium also take calcium with it.
I would have loved to hear.... some ideas for stopping it. What did he suggest or tell his patients to take for night time leg cramps. THAT would have done more than given my head knowledge
What if it's a cramp while you're walking? I get them in the back of my upper calves like when I go to lift my leg for the next step, the calve muscles right under the knee will contract intensely.
na i have been on Potassium Chloride and Iconic Magnesium for half a year and my body cramps are frequent 4-5 xs a week in different parts of my body / explain that?.
wow thanks a lot:!!!
This is helpful. It's hard to find any information on cramps that isn't about exertional or exercise indused cramps. I can hardly eat fruit NOT EVEN ONE SLICE OF BANANA and have to avoid many vegetables because they give me SEVERE cramps throughout any area of my body. It used to be only my legs and feet at night, but currently within a few minutes to an hour of consuming they cause muscle cramps any where from head to toe that the pain of is so severe in certain areas I'm panting, panicking and vomiting from the pain/cramp that lasts several hours...omg!!! So very bad. I heard of a disorder that causes severe total body cramps but I don't remember the name of it. I was a tilt upgraded power wheelchair user, muscle weakness and atrophy that gradually over took me. I learned about MTHFR gene. All the symptoms matched. Started taking L-Methylfolate and within 2 weeks could feel a difference. After being on it for 2 months I can walk again, lift a sauce pan or a water pitcher with one hand again. My muscle severe fatigue is 40% better!!! My doctors/specialists wouldn't check metabolic issues or do muscle biopsy for ALS, myasthenia gravis, or consider my several dianosed Autoimmune conditions and mitralvalve regulation or even my central/neurologic apnea.Two neurologists watched strong faciculations occuring in my arms and legs and refused to document it. I stopped going to doctors to find a diagnosis/cure altogether. I took L-Methylfolate 15mg, went vegan again and can now walk 2 miles, depression is gone completely. But I still have cramps ONLY AND SOLELY related to fruits and vegetables consumption. Meat was escalating my kidney protein and cruciferous vegs my calcium to the point of ostiopenea and kidney disease so can't have too much oxalate, protein, potassium, phosphorus or meat anymore at all so I eat only certain fruits and vegetables with caution and grain/grain based products carefully. I wish so much for a diagnosis. When they hear L-Methylfolate made me walk again they probably will have nothing to say for themselves, won't even acknowledge their errors. I'm so glad I can walk again after such a long decline from 2006 to 2023!!! Just can't believe L-Methylfolate was all I needed all these years. Now I'm trying to understand and learn why fruits and vegetables seem toxic to me, if it's another gene issue I have or intolerance to synthetic and cyanide based Bs, etc., in supplements and oxalates, potassium and phosphates in foods or if it's metabolic, autoimmune or gene related. I want to live, to walk, to laugh, be productive not physically disabled anymore.
What causes a dull painful cramp, along with movement under the right rib cage?😮
Here’s my question, what’s a good source of potassium and magnesium combined? My hamstrings kill me all the time! and I get cramps here and there out of nowhere.
When I get cramp at night I always find that my leg is cold where I’m experiencing the cramp. I have developed leg cramps since I have been unable to walk my -10,000 steps per day as I have a knee problem. Any advice?
Very helpful, thank you
Any recommendations on how to get the appropriate amount of daily potassium?
Love it when people contribute with ther real life expirience. Fate in humanity restored!
So do you take malate magnesium for cramps? Which one?
Oh ya I'm all all pumped up
When I’m done exercising. While sleeping wake up with ankle cramps. Which type of magnesium do I need? Or potassium
What about morning calf cramping. I do take magnesium at night
Taking magnesium glycinate for 2-3 weeks now. I'm still get night cramps. When does this stuff begin to work?
It worked for me in one day. 1/4 teaspoon mixed in 28oz of water, Four a day.
Mix in some lemon juice to mask the MG taste. Mixing it like this forces me to drink enough water daily. Seriously. after decades of cramps, they are gone. If I only do two or three a day, they start to come back.
When taking magnesium make sure it's Glycinate ;)
Actually I find the cheaper Oxide works for me. I can't take the citrate.
@@Tacoman1967
Me too, and I was able to get off my Hypertension Medication as well.
@@Tacoman1967 why not citrate?
@@nehaamalik3659 it's a laxative.
What are some good quality well absorbed magnesium supplements?
Hello @Cjweener our MagSRT is a very well absorbed magnesium and can be taken at large doses with out a laxative effect. Our MagSRT is the only time-release magnesium supplement with peer-reviewed clinical trail.
Here is the link with more information:
www.jigsawhealth.com/supplements/magnesium/
Get Magnesium spray. When u take a pill you’re only getting 20%-40% of the magnesium.
Which type of Magnesium supplements are best absorbed into the body?
So.... what is the highest quality AND the best form of magnesium to take?
Are there different forms of pottasium?
ForBetter Absorbtion
Amazing just used pink Himalayan salt and sparkling water and instant relief. Thank you
Never heard of that... thx.
I've been having painful rib cramps for about 15 years... took magnesium often but didn't help. I ate a banana and it stopped the cramp within a minute. Works every time so I always buy bananas now. Guess I just don't get much potassium in my diet.
Beets, apricots, yams have tons of potassium, in better ratio than bananas
I have learned about potassium from this I have been diagnosed with low potassium levels in my bloodstream
Why does pickle juice and sometimes vinegar help with cramps in the legs and feet?
I think I might have a magnesium cramp in my leg. It happened last Monday and I still feel it is right there ready to pounce on me. I thought I needed potassium... but now... I think Magnesium is what I am missing.
What is a quality source Magnesium?
I get severe long lasting cramps when I am sleeping in my legs, feet and neck. So painful, feels like my muscle is going to snap. I eat a good diet and take a multi vitamin, Should I also take a separate Magnesium supplement or try to get enough from food? What foods are high in Magnesium?
Yes, be sure it's a high quality (no fillers or magnesium stearate) and be sure to get magnesium malate, it's the most bio available form. It also has malic acid which neutralizes uric acid buildup in the muscles, which is usually what causes the cramps
That kitchen is beautiful!
So is Thomas 🤣🤣
And the best form of magnesium for nighttime leg cramps is???
Mg Glycinate worked for me.
I've been taking Dr's Best Magnesium 100% Chelated for like 2 years but ran out and started getting nighttime leg cramps again. Got some more and it seems to be helping. 👍
I take table salt n water. Cramp goes away fast. Middle of night cramp or otherwise. Dehydration is another issue. Good info. Think I need magnesium.
Do you mean Himalayan salt?
So what is the type of magnesium that addresses night leg cramps ?? There are several
Magnesium’s
Take magnesium glycinate.Most other forms loosen the stool too much.Take 600 to 800 mg in divided dose a day.That should relieve your leg cramping.
Magnesium chelate
very interesting. been getting cramps in the night in my thighs..weird..so upped my mag. good quality multi-vit which I supplement nowwith a few almonds..see how I go. my dad takes tonic water with quinine but I’mnot too sure he should be doing that as he has myasthenia gravis and I’m sure Iread somewhere that that combination isn’t good.
Have some mustard packets readily available. It's either the turmeric or the vinegar in mustard that does it. Learned this from some Pickle ball friend's of mine. It's been a lifesaver because I get frequent cramps. We all now carry mustard packets and I have them next to my nightstand too. My cramps are often in the inner thighs & very painful! If it works for you too, then pass it on as cramps are no fun! Just learned today that mustard has magnesium. I wonder if that is what works!
How about cramps in my hands and back, after physical work ? which mineral do I need ? I have tried sodium, which is helping me, BUT I have High BP.....Any help ?
Thank you for tuning in! Since you do have high blood pressure we would recommend you try Magnesium which helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels within normal range, maintain healthy blood sugar/glucose levels within normal limits as well promote healthy relaxed muscle tone and function. Hopefully this was helpful! Have a great day.
I AM URGING U TO STOP USING SODIUM AS YOU ALREADY HAVE HIGH BP. SALT WILL NOT HELP AND MAY EXACERBATE UR HIGH BP.
jane hyden not pink Himalayan salt.
Maybe explain How you know this. Maybe tell about the science that allows you to know this.
Ok so WHICH form of magnesium to take for cramps while sleeping??
Glycinate worked for me..
Wake up before you try to take that magnesium!
What type of magnesium is the well absorbed kind? I’ve used different kinds and none really seem to help my night cramps.
Magnesium glycinate
@@spacecityx THIS^ Absolutely. It worked almost overnight for me. When I quit eating carbs my cramps intensified to the point where they were completely intolerable. Now I feel great. It's a pain in the ass to mix up four bottles a day but it works so I'm sticking with it. I've been doing it for a few months now.
I get cramps in my jars sometimes just right out the blue. Sometimes it last about 3 - 10 seconds.
Ascertain between???
Thank you very much..such great information..you are really invaluable...
I have cramps muscle issues all over my body …..muscle cramps in in legs to TMJ.
I've been having feet, leg and thigh pain, discomfort, tightness, twitching, etc. for the past few months. My doctor ran a few tests, then put me on vitamin d (once weekly) and potassium oxide (daily). It's not working and it's been over two months...
Mah b ASMR Cooking Are you on Metformin? Pre-diabetic? If so take high dose B-12 methyl. I take 10,000mcg from Now brand.

What about spasms, back of course but now my ribs , I do have scoliosis..
I've been taking jigsaw magnesium for several years now and just a few months ago started the ketogenic diet and the night time cramps in calves, toes and feet are driving me nuts. Should i take more? Could my minerals be out of balance? I just received an order a few days ago and added the electrolyte powder hoping it might help but so far no luck.
Taylor Erwin hair mineral analysis!?! Tell me more :)
Well I guess I need some magnesium. I wake up sometimes with the top of my forearm cramping and my legs cramp so easy.
When I take pre workout.
If I jsut walk or shave. Do the dishes. I get a pump in my low back. Idk if I’d call it a cramp. But it’s like super tight and pumps
I often , almost daily , get random cramps throughout my body.
Individual stomach muscles , back , chest neck , hands , not so much leg cramps though.
Any ideas 💡
A Neurologist tested me using electric stimulation and than when at me with 😢 large needle and I learned nothing.
The next step was a core sample from my heel, which I declined.
Any ideas at all y’all ?
🇺🇸
Whenever I take magnesium, I get terrible leg cramps in the middle of the night. A cardiologist didn't know why. I just tried taking it again, and last night was terrible. So I'll try potassium? Any other suggestions?
Try a different form of magnesium. After I started using magnesium glycinate things improved.
Everytime I get hot and slightly dehydrated and I cramp anywhere at anytime! And it’s so painful. Every thing cramps when I put pressure on it. Simple as holding a cup of water and hand will cramp closed switch to other the same. It is very much to work through or correct.
Same.
Did you find anything that helps?
U need Potassium
And electrolytes
I will do a few squats or just bend the wrong way, and I'll feel my muscle cramping, it starts of slowly and then all of a sudden I'm litterally stuck in a position and can't move and it's excrutating, I cry,scream,drip sweat and it takes my partner to move me and 20mins to go away then days of after pain, in butt muscles, legs,lower back and arms....ive always been reasonably active, had two major ops years ago and I was low in magnesium and potassium but these cramps are brutal....anyone else have these spasm type cramps
That's what I'm experiencing right now. I've never had issues with my inner thighs before today, but it's suddenly in both legs, but the right one knotted up big time and it was really painful and still is a couple hours later with swelling resembling a soft ball.
I get leg and ankle cramps if my legs are not good and warm.
I get morning cramps taking Swanson Magnesium 3 Types.
i’m getting abdominal cramping while sleeping 3am. i the in n on by its cramping.
Now it has happened enough to say I have noticed. Hot weather working not hard like today I was installing a screen in a screen door. I just finished drinking a small bottle of Gatorade. left hand and wrist just start locking up where I force thumb back and wrist gets real tight. And for sure this follows drinking Gatorade. Its happened before but now I was for sure no cramps till after I drank Gatorade. And it does not happen all the time. But today sure enough happened. What should I be trying to figure this out?
That's funny because I don't usually drink Gatorade, but have had a few bottles in the past few days, and suddenly I'm getting crazy inner thigh cramps and now one has a knot in it the size of my fist. Needless to say, it hurts like a mother******.
@@waderands5216 Have some mustard packets readily available. It's either the turmeric or the vinegar in mustard that does it. Learned this from some Pickle ball friend's of mine.

I am having full body muscle cramps every couple minutes including in my face and abdomen. I drink low sodium V8 for potassium. The cramps won’t go away. Sleep is pretty much impossible with the electric shock cramps I’m experiencing. Calcium test came back normal. Magnesium came back normal Potassium normal. Does this sound like a magnesium deficiency?
Try Mg GLYCINATE. It's inexpensive and can't hurt to try. Mix 1/4 tsp with about 28oz of water&lemon juice. Drink four a day. you will stay hydrated and may be cramp free forever. It worked for me..
