Eating Disorder - Another cramps question...

[Keyboard Warrior]

Posting because I'm at the end of my tether.

My legs will not stop cramping. You can literally see the muscle balling up under my skin, my feet will almost try & bend themselves in half with the seizing up (I know that's gross, sorry). I'm on supplements, blah blah & seeing my GP next week. Is there ANYTHING practical I can do to help it in the meantime?

Extremes of temperature don't help, so I've avoided soaking my feet. Sometimes massaging helps but I can't really stand up & do that in the middle of a class. I'm on the verge of tears here.

Heya sunshine, what part of your leg is cramping?
My calves cramp alot, and my feet bend like your saying, and it (for me) is that the muscle is overdeveloped on one side, and underdeveloped on the other, what may help is putting the front of your feet, literally the balls of your feet and no further, on a largish book (argos catlogue size) and pushing up until the backs of your feet are off the ground, and level with the front end of your feet, it helps for me, and then strengthens the underdeveloped muscle.
Obviously I don't know if this is what you have, but what you've described is very similar to mine, and I know I have trouble walking for ages afterwards!

I get leg cramps in the evenings & Restless Leg Syndrome when I'm laying in bed.... the one thing that really helps is to take an over-the-counter Magnesium supplement.... it acts as a natural muscle relaxant! 400mg liquid capsules are best.

Hope that helps!!
