I have been having really bad cramps on my calves for about five days. I have been taking magnesium but it’s not working. The cramps wake me up in the middle of the night and they are very painful. Does anyone else suffer from this and what do they take?

Loren,
I keep Theraworx on my night stand, for just such events. You massage it into the cramp and it stops shortly after.
I hope this helps.

Do you think you could have restless leg syndrome,
I only mentioned this because ive had it years, and its awful,
When my ra isn't under control its much more worse,
I take a drug thats used for parkinsons disease pramiprexole and its the best thing ive ever taken to control it.
Id reach out to your specialist,
Sending you hugs ❤️
