Hi everyone - mods am sorry if this is in wrong section but I didn't think approprite in medical conditions as it's more a 'symptom' of preg?

anyway - I need HELP. 2 nights ago i got a SEVERE leg cramp in my sleep, so severe it woke me up and I was rolling around in bed in agony until it subsided (several minutes?)

I'd read somewhere that leg cramps are due to potassium deficiency .. so that morning i had 2 bananas YUM.... anyway last night the same thing happened but in the other leg. to the extent that i was almost screaming in pain (makes me wonder about child birth!)

now both legs hurt (the kind of hurt where you overdid it at the gym the day before) and I don't know if this is related but i have a sharp pain in lower RHS of groin which has been there for a day.

any suggestions to stop these cramps?
