To anyone on here who suffers from these.. What do you do to try to prevent yourself from getting them.. i know they can, at least for me, be very random ion when they occur but its unbearable the pain they cause. I saw a doctor last september about it and he basicallly was clueless, told me no one kows why they happen, all he said was drink plenty of water and if need be take paracetemol before going to bed ...
Just like to know what you do to try stop them coming on

My doctor told me it helps if you include lots of irons in your diet [which means eating lots of meat, fish, poultry etc.]. And if you take regular exercise. It also helps if you sleep with your leg(s) raised.
This worries me, im scared that one of these times this will happen or something similar. Doctors here are rubbish in that they feel parts of your leg ( tha tlast time he didnt even check the are where i said it happened :eek2: ) then tell yyou this and that and send you on your way. The last thing i want is a torn calf muscle or similar....
and the pain..... The pain is horrendous i wouldnt wish it upon anyone
Thanks i will
