Horrendous cramps...

...in my right calf muscle. I have started getting cramps since DS2 was six months, but this past week has been bad and today is awful. It had been just evenings/nighttime before, but it's been all day today. I walk to the school and back every day which equates to nearly 2 hours walking. Just got back. I had to keep stopping to stretch my calf.

Any recommendations/ideas as to getting rid/cause would be gratefully received thank you!

Not experienced this myself, but I believe magnesium supplements are good for cramps. I also know someone who swears by putting magnesium salts in her bath as apparently they can be very beneficial (all anecdotal, I know!).
