Ok I've been plagued with them for a few months now, I've tried everything,tonic water, magnesium,bananas, apparently it's mainly due to the deficiency of magnesium or potassium,I need one of the doctors from the virus forum for advice

maybe vitamin b12 deficiency or some other vitamin or mineral I have coeliac disease which causes vitamin deficiency because it stops the body absorbing, it only came on the last couple of years, Covid can trigger these kind of autoimmune illnesses

You can be prescribed quinine tablets, if the GP thinks it's the right treatment, of course. I didn't think tonic water actually contained quinine now- it's just a flavouring

Magnesium glycinate capsules, or Mag365, great for deficiency. But it will take a little while to notice a difference. It's never an instant fix.

There are loads of different magnesium tablets,avoid the ones containing buffer agents and additives

"Additives/Fillers

Read the back label of any supplement carefully and watch out for any synthetic fillers or additives. Avoid any unnecessary ingredients or bulking agents such as magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, starch, iron oxide, or microcrystalline cellulose which don't offer any nutritional benefit"

Just seen this

Yes. This!! I’ve found wearing pj bottoms to bed helps, oddly.

I have it on good authority from my uncles friend, who knew a man whose next door neighbour once lived near a hospital, that if you wrap your leg in a bandage soaked in the sweat of albino ferrets in just six months your cramps will either have disappeared or you will wish they had.

There's no need to thank me.

Alternatively you could try a gentle stretch before bed.

Every now and then I get chronically bad leg cramps. I've tried all sorts, I've found a good dose of Taurine helps for me. Does mean drinking disgusting drinks like Monster or Red Bull (genuinely can't stand them) but does make a difference.

Also is it cramp? Or is it referred back pain?

Can get taurine tablets, much cheaper and probably better than the drinks

Oh I never knew that ! I get malaria and drink pints of the stuff when in Africa for the quinine which is meant to stop it

To stop cramps, on training days I eat 2 bananas before training

Do you drink a lot of milk/eat dairy ? I’ve to avoid high calcium stuff while taking zma tablets as it affects absorption

Why? You might be better off with vit D, mag and K2. That helps everything, improves your gut, would aid absorption, you wouldn't need calcium tablets then.

I would suggest a blood test with the docs to see what you're deficient in.
