Are you troubled with leg cramps at night?

Yes. I deal with this also. I try to get comfortable in the bed and I stretch my legs out and get a muscle cramp or a charlie horse. I will have to try the mustard thing. I have never heard of that until now. I like the taste of mustard so it shouldn't be too bad to do and try. I hope it works for me also.

For about some time, more than a year ago, my wife and I experience leg cramping in the wee hours of the morning. It did not occur though every night. I am a sports person and I thought it was just lack of rehydration minerals, something like cramps when indulged in sports. In the past year, we haven't experienced it and it could be due to our increased intake of fluids.

Just in case it will, which I hope not, I now learned from you a quick remedy for it. MyLot has really helped me so much in many day-to-day things. This is another I will be thankful for.

i ocassionally experience this. what i do is i stretch my legs and flex my feet (at the same time) as soon as i feel the beginnings of a leg cramp. it goes away after a few seconds.

i haven't heard of the "mustard cure" though. thanks for this bit of information!

I sometimes get cramps when i don't drink enough water during the day. And i think it has also to do with low calcium intake. So i try to drink plenty water and eat yohurt for my calcium requirement to avoid getting cramps as one tends to sweat a lot in summers esp and can get dehydrated easily.
I think streching one's legs douing basic stretches for all limbs is good idea. And have never of mustard tip will surely take note of it. Thanks.:)

I've had leg cramps during my first pregnancy. I had it almost every night. That stopped after delivery so it was a load of. I do have leg cramps occasionally nowadays.

How does the mustard thing work? Are you talking about the mustard seeds? or mustard paste (yellow in colour)? mustard powder? You have to swallow it? Thanks. - Lyn

I will give it a try soon. I'll look for the mustard you said. I want a leg cramps free life too. LOL. I do hope it workd for me and my mother too. She have her right body paralyzed yet she can feel cramps with her right legs very often. Thanks for the brilliant sharing here. God bless!

For me it would be bad. I don't like mustard at all. My doctor told me to get more salt in my diet. He said that it would help with the cramping.

Wow, that's really interesting! I've definitely never heard of that before. I used to get leg cramps all the time at night, but fortunately I don't really have that problem as often now. It does still happen occasionally though, so I'll have to keep this tip in mind. Thanks for the suggestion!

Appreciate you have publish this, my aunt just tried it last week. I recieved her email this morning indicate that it work. Thank you so much.

I to have this problem when I was in high school. But I had gotten rid of it. I had learned a reflexology technique that could make the blood on my legs flow better. I will also try your tip. I think its a good one. One more good thing. I could use mustard in cooking.
