Seriously painful Leg cramps? Any idea why & how to stop them?

I haven't wanted to over do it with the magnesium so I have upped my calcuim to 2x600mg tablets daily (I'm not a big milk drinker). For the past 2+ months no more night cramps, which my DH is happy about since he no longer wakes up to me screaming :-)

I had one this morning! DH had to massage it for me, it was all up my inner thigh so I had to sloooooowly move my leg.

My legs were aching and I think I had restless leg syndrome because if i was up walking my legs were fine, once i stopped they hurt. I sat in the foot spa for a few hours which seemed to help Fingers crossed I dont start suffering this while im at work!

I'll be starting the milk drinking tonight too - just to see if it helps! Cos they are a freaking KILLER!
