Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted October 22, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meliss000 283 Posted October 22, 2012 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! 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meliss000 283 Posted October 26, 2012 How are your spasms?, I hope they are getting better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted October 26, 2012 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..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meliss000 283 Posted October 27, 2012 Try some Tomato juice, I found that worked the best! Glad your doing better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 27, 2012 I have also found that taking a serving of veggie and fruit powder helps. I bought a good mix from GNC.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
