Every few months, I have a most awful painful cramp in bed in co Cork. This morning I had another ‘beauty’ in my right calf. Ouch, i thought my leg was going at explode. It was hard trying to relax and stop it from causing more pain. I wish i could make sure i never have another cramp. I’m 47 and generally healthy. I must take up leg exercises and do whatever it takes.

I always lie on my back in bed and get leg cramps every other night. At Age Concern a client reccomends drinking Tonic Water ( very small Quinine content) also to keep a wine bottle cork in the Duvet cover. She swears by this. In desperation I have tried both without effect. Will try the exercises and report in a few weeks.
