Potassium (bananas) often helps alleviate leg cramps.
Stretching (toes on step, lower heel, hold, back up; repeat)
Drink until you don't feel anything any more! ;-)

The EASIEST way to get rid of them is to eat a bannana. They are packed with potasium which is what you need if your cramping. Its also easier and cheeper than getting medications for it.

i ride my bike long distances and rarely get cramps doing it. i usually get them at 3 am! talk about a rude awakening! i get out of bed, try to stretch the muscle, and i rub it. i eat lots of bananas, drink plenty of water and usually get enough salt. i figure that i just need more exercise on a regular basis. good luck: leg cramps are a major drag!

Amputations certainly effective, but impractical and undesirable in the long run...
Normally I just ignore them until the go away.

LOL You wouldn't ignore a real bad leg cramp. It brings grown men to the ground. LOL

You could also have a potassium deficiency. Try eating a banana or two. If they are occurring frequently I'd have my blood tested.

Assassi... to Evil 1 2012/06/11 15:35:39

I do have a potassium deficiency. I have a prescription potassium supplement.

Might check with your doc to see if you need the amount increased. When I was younger and powerlifting I had problems with cramps and it was because of potassium. The doctor used to check my potassium level every 90 days. Good luck.
