What's the best way to get rid of leg cramps?!


Question: Potassium, potassium, potassium! If you don't want to buy the supplements -- they're reasonably cheap -- then look for foods like bananas and avocados. My mother swears by drinking pickle juice, but eeew.

Drinking plenty of water never hurts and get as much exercise as you can without straining your legs, which can make matters worse. Walking is perfect. Also, get plenty of rest.

Take a potassium supplement daily.
along with a vitamin C

Drink more water.:)

Eat some bananas they have potassium and fluids will help also

my mom told me that putting a bar of soap under your sheets under your legs helps. she swears a lady at work did this and it worked!
i plan on trying this myself, as i have RLS and can't afford to see the dr right now for it.
