For years now I have been suffering from cripplingly painful muscle cramps. I get them in my calf muscles and upper back if I half-wake in the night and stretch a little, and just below my boobs when I am doing things like a pedicure or tying shoelaces. I don't get them all the time but when I do get them they are terrible. I got one in my calf during the night and it's still aching now.
Has anyone else had this? Is it simply a matter of increasing my salt intake (which I think is high enough already)? Should I consult the doctor?
