bryan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 For those of you headed my way (age) I offer this bit of lore. Keep yellow mustard on the nite stand. Eating 1T of it will stop leg cramps like right now. Not the best taste but Oh... the relief.
mguerra Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 You say it is a bit of lore. Have you tried it yourself? I get awful toe, foot and leg cramps after a hot round of golf. I'll try anything!

I'll try anything![/quote'] YES again last night. Works fast. I just take a big swig from the spout... Strangely I don't mind the taste at the time. I even make sure some goes under tongue.
mguerra Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 hmm It's interesting because I have heard a big swig of pickle juice will do the same. The common element between them is... vinegar. Some salt, probably also.
T Rex Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 Well fellas, enjoy your mustard and pickle juice............. a double shot of a good single malt works just fine for me.......... T Rex 1
ThreeDJ16 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 I have used tonic water for years on leg cramps. Can be tough to take a big swig since it is so bitter, but you get used to it. Also works for a twitching muscle. Interesting enough, here is a link that mentions all of these "folk" remedies. http://www.health911.com/cramps_(muscle)
mguerra Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 You get used to tonic water. There's a Mexican restaurant on my way home from golf; I swing in their drive through and get a big cup of tonic water for the drive home.

mguerra Posted August 29, 2010 Report Posted August 29, 2010 That's funny, I never even intended that bit of golfy wordsmithing and only noticed it after your post! Must have been subliminal. Yep, just "putted" right on up there.

lee grabowski Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 Leg Cramps I have read this recently: "Slipping a bar of soap into the bed as a leg cramp prevention has been advanced by a number of authorities, both medical and otherwise. Ann Landers has mentioned the soap cure in her column on a number of occasions, with each airing prompting a load of letters from readers thanking her for this information because it worked wonders for them. "They were thrilled and grateful to be liberated from those leg cramps," said Ms. Landers." After searching some more, put the soap between the sheets down by your feet, Dial & Dove soap are not recommended. Lee G.
mguerra Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 This may not help everyone but I find it has been extremely effective for me as I suffer from severe cramping my entire adult life. Now I take 400 mg of magnesium every day, including a 100 mg tablet right before bedtime. This has almost completely relieved me from all cramping and as well I have not had any more kidney stones (which I had a lot of before) now that I'm taking magnesium. Some forms are considered more absorbable than others, you might want to research that a little bit before you decide which supplement you wish to take. I take a form called Doctors Best which I get from Amazon.
Poochie Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 For those of you headed my way (age) I offer this bit of lore. Keep yellow mustard on the nite stand. Eating 1T of it will stop leg cramps like right now. Not the best taste but Oh... the relief. I wonder if it would work if I put that tablespoon of mustard on a hotdog and left that by the nightstand in case of cramps 1
