[QUOTE="evansjamesk, post: 177785, member: 34969"] I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. My wife gets debilitating nocturnal leg cramps nearly every night. Any muscle in her legs is prone to cramp. When cramping, they're rock-hard and sometimes last a half hour. We've tried everything that makes sense and some things that don't. Many different forms of magnesium, electrolytes, gabapentin, plenty of water, vinegar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, heat, DMSO, MSM, potassium... Occasionally we have someone who swears by a product, but nothing ever works for her. It may be hereditary - her mother gets them too. Sometimes my wife has more than one muscle cramp at a time, and when they're opposing muscles she's really hurting. The cramps are unrelated to exercise and she drinks plenty of water all day. She's overweight and doesn't work out. We eat fairly sensibly. We have never found any pattern or trigger. I told her it's time to get off the reservation and try new things, hence I'm posting here. Would any anabolics or hormones help? She had kidney cancer five years ago and the doctor said she can't do hormone replacement therapy as it's linked to kidney cancer. She can't risk her remaining kidney. As an aside, I think the doctor was wrong - all my research found links between ORAL HRT, not topical. When she's cramping there's nothing I can do. Massage doesn't help. Stretching doesn't help. It's hard for me to hear her crying and sometimes screaming and begging God to let it stop. We are SO open to suggestions. TIA Jim [/QUOTE]
