On and off I have leg cramps.
They're called nocturnal leg cramps (NLC) and
A) they're common in primary care.
B) they're rarely reported to doctors, they
C) cause severe pain and sleep disturbance. And
D) they persist even after you get up, they kind of disable you for a full day because one of your legs is not strong enough to walk on for up to 15 hours.
No, these NLCs are not triggered by walking; they're triggered by the intake of high-potassium foods like bananas, dates, and or raisins.
However,
The FIRST issue is, there is very little or no information out there on the Internet, so we cannot research your own condition. In other words, there isn't any website, or online book, out there that would enable us to decide that -- based on our symptoms -- we have hyperkalemia (too much potassium) or hypokalemia (too little potassium).
Further, I don't know if there is any other way for me to look for information, if I want to shed more light on this subject. I even read the relevant chapters of the Merck Manual Professional Edition, and not even that professional edition of that book was any help to me on the subject of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia.
The SECOND issue is that, on the Internet, just about everyone pushes high-potassium fruits and vegetables.
In other words the vast majority of the Internet is trying to convince you that you have hypokalemia,
and the message is that, everyone, including you, should buy and eat many more sweet fruits...
Why? Probably because this is the narrative of today's mainstream media.
The THIRD issue is, there are articles that try to convince us that our leg cramps are due to hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) and the oral bioavailability of magnesium. However magnesium therapy did fail. View "Effect of magnesium therapy on nocturnal leg cramps: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials with meta-analysis using simulations", by Paul Seboa, e al.,
I don't know about you or everyone else,
but I'm not going to listen to the mainstream media,
I'm going to stop buying bananas, dates and raisins.
They're very sweet, but I'm happier without my leg cramps. Period.

I answer in the name of Michel founder of grandpharmacy . Most cramps go away after a few minutes. It is possible to anticipate their occurrence and relieve the pain. If they become recurrent or are associated with other symptoms, it is recommended to see a doctor.
A cramp causes severe pain. It can be quickly relieved with a few simple actions:
stop the activity involved in the onset of the cramp;
stretch and massage the muscle affected by the cramp. For example, if it is a calf cramp, lift your leg and pull the toe up (bring the toe towards you). Once you have done this exercise, try walking on your heels for a few minutes;
rehydrate by drinking plenty of water;
If the muscle pain persists after the cramp, you can take one of the following medicines:
paracetamol,
a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or "NSAID" (ibuprofen, ketoprofen) or aspirin. Each of these medicines should be used alone: do not take several NSAIDs at the same time, or one NSAID and aspirin.

No, they don't.

No, not true; they're always unexpected.

Not true.

When you say "doctor", you're pushing the services of "MDs" I neither need nor want.
Further, your post includes a plug to (your) pharmacy!

Read the OP's post again... these cramps aren't caused by any activity.
> stretch and massage the muscle affected by the cramp.

Advices like these are peddled by physical therapists "Bob and Brad" and many others on YouTube. However, their advices have never worked for my leg cramps.
> rehydrate by drinking plenty of water;
Water-drinking has never worked for my leg cramps.

Here at Curezone we educate but don't medicate.
The solution that works for my leg cramps is self-control. The usual issue is the evil of carbohydrates. Example: of fruits, I eat only two servings per day, as opposed to 10 or 15 serving per day.

The evils of carbohydrates period.
BBQ sauce gives my leg cramps at night. I try to avoid HFCS in the stuff i buy, but when you eat out, you have no choice. Try avoiding any sweets at night and see how that works, if you eat desert.
Look into Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Insulin Resistance. Watch the 6:29 min video and go from there.
It will open up a whole new area of the evils of carbs.

This is a reply to # 2,443,311twll, I love your post! You are so articulate. Yes, exactly - the evils of carbohydrates, period.
P.S.: BBQ sauce means many ingredients and recipes; however, most ingredients can be classified as carbohydrates.
P.P.S.: Great video!
