Fix Your Leg Cramps Now

Have you ever had a leg cramp? Kept awake from calf cramps (Charlie horse) while trying to sleep at night? I read recently that 40% of adults over 50 experience them! Leg cramps at night and restless leg syndrome are not entirely the same thing but can overlap. Restless leg syndrome tends to be a more continuous sensation in the thigh or calf that makes you feel the need to move, walk or stretch. A leg cramp or charlie horse is a sudden, painful squeezing or cramping feeling in the muscle. It is usually resolved with stretching. What are some tricks to help you if you’re one of the 40%?
