Spasms

[Ms skinniness 3,003]

I have spasms in my calves at night time. I am getting 64oz of Water in daily. I can actually see the muscles in my calf spasm. I don't know what's causing them or how I can prevent them from occurring again. Any ideas would be wellcome.

I had them really bad, I was told it was an electrolyte imbalance. You can drink gatorade, or Powerade, but tomatoe juice is the best for it. After just a couple of days drinking maybe a cup a day really made a difference! Good luck!

Thank you Meliss000, I will get some gatorade today....... It is really uncomfortable...

How are your spasms?, I hope they are getting better!

My spasms are going away. I did some research on electrolytes and discovered that it recommends not drinking excesses amounts of Water after exercising. That a Protein Bar would be better. So I made that change. my calf muscles are still tight at night when watching TV but not enough to keep me awake. I have also increased my Calcium intake a bit too. I do get enough salt, and I'm working on increasing my veggie (green) and fruit intake. I was really considering G2 Gatorade again, but it gives me a lot of gas. I'm just happy it's getting easier. Thank you for asking.....

Try some Tomato juice, I found that worked the best! Glad your doing better

I have also found that taking a serving of veggie and fruit powder helps. I bought a good mix from GNC.< /p>
