    Recently I had a somewhat regular cramp problem on my calf, triggered by lying down in bed in awkward ways. Despite being sufficiently hydrated, doing regular calf stretches, and having my fill with bananas (to deal with potassium deficiency) and a magnesium supplement, the cramps would not stop. Turns out the problem was a pair of pants I was wearing to work - I'd be sitting at my desk for most of the day, and the lower section of the pants would keep the calves squeezed. Apparently the legs aren't supposed to stay at that "compressed" state for (pretty much) hours at a time. Hope this helps someone.

    Your problem could be low sodium. I was told to limit sodium to 1,500 mg per day to deal with high blood pressure but this caused more cramps. Then I read that the British Medical Association was now recommending 2,500 mg for high blood pressure patients. When I switched to that level, I had far fewer cramps. I also stopped drinking coffee.

    My inner thigh cramps were mostly related to hip joints. Three years ago I had a hip replacement which fixed most of the hip flexor muscle cramping. I walk a lot for work (forester) so I do watch my water intake and use Powerade and Gatorade to ensure electrolyte balance. Good luck because these cramps are serious!

    I was getting cramps every night on my toes, shins and calves. So painful I would cry. Few things I've learned, cramps in calves, bite down on bottom lip. Only works on calves, bit does work, especially when you catch it early. Also, I started drinking pickle juice to prevent and mustard during. I actually keep packets on my night stand. Also, started drinking apple cider vinegar every morning and my cramps have just about disappeared.

    for some reason, when i ate yogurt or drank milk the cramps just get be more frequent and worse. bananas do absolutely nothing to stop cramping, or vinegar, mustard, water, electrolyte powder and trace minerals etc. i took all types of magnesium for years and they did not really help. no to muscle relaxers, too. what did eventually STOP the cramping and prevent them from reoccurring is standard process "calcifood" powder and a potassium supplement- best one for me is on back log for months now--solgar potassium amino complex. after years of cramps, the cramping stopped. the worst was the hamstrings--but i got them around my rib cage, too. and fingers and toes. there is skeletal muscle in the heart, too. the tachycardia and palpatations became less frequent when i took the potassium, but have not had any more since adding calcifood. it's great. i hope some people read this and understand it is possible to go thru hell for years with muscle cramping and no medical person will take it seriously. they consider it to be non-life threatening. i think muscle cramping can be connected with heart palpatations. i expected to die with severe cramping, heart pounding and someone in charge would stand there looking at me, shaking his head, thinking how crazy i look hollering and crying and crawling. thank god i don't have to die that way.

I’ve been using Theraworx for awhile now, and it’s been very helpful until last night. I couldn’t seem to stop cramping in my calf and ankle. I’m 69, and I wish there was a cure for this.

    The most painful muscle cramp I ever had was after working for hours outside on a hot day. It was in a groin muscle and I tried to stretch the opposite way, but it did not work. After that, whenever doing that kind of work I always hydrate extra well using a product by the company that makes "Emergen-C", except it is a packet that mixes with 1 liter of water and has no sugar. It is called "Electro-Mix". I have not gotten one of those since.

    I enjoyed your video that has a lot of good info. I'm 68 and teach several (2 or 3) Tai Chi classes six days a week. I'm very flexible and do a lot of stretching on the floor or in standing postures. The last few months I have gotten cramps in my hamstrings or in the quadriceps extensors and the rectus femoris, usually after about two hours after my night classes. I sit on the floor often is yogic postures as a means to counter balance the strength oriented postures of standing Tai Chi postures of leg extensions that are held for about ten seconds or so. The Chinese believe if you can get up off the floor, you are pretty healthy. I concur with this theory. You may think me eccentric but after 50 years of Gung Fu (Tai Chi and Chi Gung) I have acquired many healthy benefits. I wrote this comment to complement you on your advice as it works in many situations. I have one 80 yr old student who has a buffalo hump and is starting to benefit from your exercises. In this video, I wanted to suggest to you something I thought of while watching. When you wish to do the dorsal flex when your are inclined in bed, a hand towel being held in your hands can be hooked on the toes/ball of the foot to be pulled towards the knee. If the towel is too short because of your reach, a bath towel could be substituted. Another suggestion to replace your wooden tool (the incline device) is to stand facing the wall with the cramping calf forward, place the ball of the foot against the wall above the wooden trim, about 3 inches from the floor with the other foot behind but slightly diagonally outward from the front foot. Keeping the back somewhat straight, lean forward with the forward knee moving toward the wall, thus stretching the forward calf muscle. With the wall being 90° perpendicular to the floor, this creates the 25 to 45 degree angle needed for the replacing of the wooden angle device. Again thank you for all of your advice and look forward to more of your videos in the future . Peace and blessings.

    I am a runner and suffer from cramp, in the later parts of Marathon races and in bed at night on days when I have done a hard running workout session. Over the years (l am old) I have tried all the things you mentioned. None of them helped. The effective solution that works for me is to rehydrate with lots of water with electrolyte tablets dissolved in it, including an extra magnesium tablet in the drink and also using transdermal magnesium oil (or ointment). I massage the place where the cramp is occurring (usually calf muscle) with the magnesium product and it is absorbed directly through the skin into the cramping muscle. (Hence “transdermal”.) Using transdermal magnesium oil brought me a lifetime person record in my most recent Marathon. It may be specific to my body-chemistry but if all the usual strategies have not worked for you I would suggest trying adding magnesium in one form or another.

    there is a perfect solution for calf muscle cramps, there is a pressure point on the spot between your upper lip and nose, right in the center, if you apply pressure on it with one of your knuckles, and hold for a minute or so, the cramp will usually go away, and best of all there will be no lingering soreness, it is amazing how it works.

    Your stretching is spot on! I’ve had more cramps than ever now that I’ve reached my 50’s. I suppose it’s because I have muscle loss. Anyway, a few years ago my wife told me to chew up about 4 Tums tablets when having severe cramps because she remembered when she was pregnant it was advised to do this to avoid and ease cramps. Supposedly, pregnant women lose calcium and magnesium during child development while pregnant. Well, it works very quickly to alive severe cramps. Just this weekend I over did the hiking during a camping trip and had severe cramping in both hamstrings. It was really bad! Luckily we keep a large bottle of the tasty smooth Tums tablets in our camp trailer. Just chew up 4 Tums and wash it down with a glass of water and it will help the cramps go away within 10 minutes. I promise this is is worth trying.

But if I come home and go to bed/computer/chair sitting too soon after then the dreaded cramps will come. My favorite is the knee-to-groin inside thigh muscle. Lots of hilarious squirming and hopping with that one, especially both legs at once! So a really long cool-down is advisable I’d say.

    There IS a difference between table/sea/mountain salt (a sodium salt) - which if you are eating anything out of a box or fast food joint, you are having more than enough of - and ‘mineral salts’. You are looking at minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, boron and phosphates (this last one is often forgotten about). While we only need tiny, tiny amounts of these we tend to push them out of the way with the usual salt. So a balance in everything. ;)

    I have found that when forcing your ‘toes’ backwards, do not forget to concentrate on the ‘little toe’. That makes a huge difference. By bringing my entire body against the wall and using the ‘baseboard’ to force my toes backwards, especially the small toe, relief comes quickly. It maybe necessary to slightly rotate your body in order to get the little toe facing upwards. Practice this technique, BEFORE, the actual cramp comes upon you. Just a suggestion here, from my experience only.

The sloping wedge design of the boot jack can serve the same purpose as the slanted block or box show in the video.

    I have cauda equina from a SCI. Cramps at calves and toes at night are part of life generally initiated by a stretch. Calf cramp is the worst. I have learned it is better to relax gritting my teeth than trying to stretch through the cramp regardless of method. Try to relax the best you can. Within 10 seconds or so the cramp will begin to subside. Do not move. Continue to relax over the next 30-60 seconds. The cramp generally mostly or completely subsides then I can work with it. Been through this countless times to know this method works best for me. Dehydrated at all, statins, sugar and salt are cramp inducers.

    (1) You did not discuss quad stretches - that's where I get the worst cramps. Otherwise, this was a GREAT video. (2) If you are on a low-sodium diet (as I am) due to high blood pressure, and you make the mistake of eating a large, high sodium meal (restaurants are notorious for putting a LOT of salt in their meals) you will get cramps. (3) What I found out was, when you get bad cramps, walking around quickly and immediately drinking LARGE quantities of water works well. It takes about 15 minutes for the water to get to the muscles that are dehydrated. When my quads camp up, I drink 2 liters of water and walk for 15 minutes. I think the reason a high sodium meal causes cramps is that the sodium, when it enters the bloodstream, draws water OUT of the muscles, so the solution to the problem was not more electrolytes, but drinking a LOT more water, as fast as possible. (4) If you get cramps frequently, stop drinking anything that has caffeine in it (coffee, tea, etc) as caffeine is a diuretic. If you are already on a prescription diuretic, the caffeine will cause you to lose even more sodium and cause cramps. One or two cups might be OK, but I was drinking 6-8 cups of coffee every day and I had to stop doing that. Also, some types of herbal tea, such as mint tea, are diuretics. I discovered that by chance, also. I won't drink sports drinks because of the sugar, but I am going to get some of the salt tablets as suggested in this video and keep them handy. Thanks for a great video. I took two pages of notes.

    my cramp story just watched your latest cramp video and this one also. I am a 33 year vegan 75 years old...my cardiologist is a plant based doctor.. I have had nighttime cramps for years and also saw the amish remedy at my local ace hardware but did not buy it. I mention all this to my doctor and she says well lets first run some blood tests and see what my levels are.. Test comes back and I have less than zero vitamin b -12 in my system. She tells me that is NOT abnormal for a Vegan to have this low vitamin B-12. But it should be corrected. She would not make any claim that it might help my cramping, but she said lets get your levels up to par and see what happens. So I started a B-12 supplement routine 3 years ago and have not had one cramp since. Just a fact of life for me. Like you say I don't care how or why it works for me but it did.

No other forces against mean straight to full tension. It feels like its almost a signal that the cramping muscle is basivally telling you its being used when otger muscles should be doing more work.

    I think cold feet or hands could also contribute to cramping when it’s cold outside... I would think consuming potassium and magnesium would help a little more than salt if your diet already has a pretty high sodium content, but it is best to just consume fruit or juice than using supplements if you don’t get cramps very often. You shouldn’t try to consume electrolytes based on the recommended daily value, but the % helps to know if a product contains any. Also, if stretching and drinking water does not help, you should only need around 2% DV of potassium &/or magnesium to stop muscle cramping.

I tried it despite a Canadian medical study that discouraged the use of quinine. We who have these leg cramp problems will try just about anything, won't we? But the directions are to take several pills EVERY DAY as a preventative. I didn't want to do that. With the many preventive suggestions given here, my pain specialist doctor recommended pickle juice (as several people here did as well), or apple cider vinegar, to quickly STOP a cramp already in progress - the common denominator is the acetic acid in vinegar, which some believe triggers a nerve response at the back of the mouth/throat area almost as soon as the acid hits it - swallowing is not necessarily even required. I have found this to be the best remedy for me to arrest a cramp already in progress (besides the preventive measures, primarily hydration and electrolytes including magnesium).

    @@traceysouth1047 I have never tried the supplements however common sense would tell you it's best to drink it pure in it's natural form. With any supplement your not getting the purest form and also they add a lot of filler and other stuff that you don't need. The taste is not bad you get used to it. The one I buy is organic and has lemon added to it which makes the flavor better then if you were drinking it by itself

    I use small left over soap. I Put A piece of soap in areas that flair up. I wear socks and put soap on the ankles when going to bed. Milk or cream seems to be my triger.
