DH Awful Leg Cramps

27 replies

My DH has the most awful leg cramps which can hit him at any time of the day. Last time we were out at a quiz night when he got the most awful leg cramps resulting in him falling to the floor, going completely white, clammy and embarrassingly we had to ask for a bowl as he thought he was going to be sick. Afterwards his legs feel bruised and very tender. It can often hit in the night and I am woken by him literally screaming out in pain. Honestly it’s awful.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might help? He currently takes magnesium tablets daily and drinks loads. We are at our wits end.

My mum suffered with truly debilitating cramps for years. She was recommended (by sports medicine Dr) to try drinking dioralite through the day. She drinks 1-2 sachets per day and it has virtually stopped all her cramps after 30+yrs of suffering

I was going to suggest trying electrolytes too. They have magnesium and potassium on them.

Glad he went to the GP.

My pain is tied up with my sciatica. I feel for him.
