    Vitamin E can help prevent cramps, according to MedicineNet. They note that while scientific reports are lacking, there have been enthusiastic anecdotal reports.

    Quinine is said to help.  Tonic water contains quinine, so try it and report back to the board.

    Eat bananas,  seriously............

    Make sure you have enough potassium in your body all the time - banana is a good source but it may make you fat if you eat too many.

    If you have a severe leg cramps breath in a paper bag for relief....


    Don't know why but my dad had them and this helped, has helped me too but my legs are too numb to feel them anymore.

    Yes, thanks... changed it.......lol

    Muscel cramps are common, I have found in past,  drink small glass of Indian Tonic Water, before going to bed helps. If you get cramps during day, try slowly stretching your leg slowly. Muscle spasms can cause cramps and are often brought on by, Alcoholism, Heavy exercise, Dehydration, Kidney failure, and many other things. If the cramps are severe or last long time, see your Doctor.
