kimtoomey 1 Posted June 9, 2014 I am 1 week out tomorrow from surgery. The past two days I have been having muscle spasms mainly in my legs. It is a quick jolt--almost like a wave and then nothing. Anyone know what I mean or how to make it stop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarbiMolly 188 Posted June 9, 2014 I would contact your doctor. When I get that I take Magnesium. But check with the doctor first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
queenie47 45 Posted June 9, 2014 Im on the preop diet and have been experiencing the same thing! I told my husband my stomach is fine but I think my legs are hungry!

KrissySMD 38 Posted June 10, 2014 What could be causing this HORRIBLE ITCHING?! I know it means you're healing. But this is crazy! It kept me up most of night even with benadryl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deedadumble 1,033 Posted June 10, 2014 What could be causing this HORRIBLE ITCHING?! I know it means you're healing. But this is crazy! It kept me up most of night even with benadryl! Magnesium as well for itching. I recommend Calm Magnesium and taking Epsom Salt baths (if you're far enough out from surgery to take a bath). I just had a horrible spell of itching and after doing a lot of research added the magnesium and within two days I saw a huge improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deedadumble 1,033 Posted June 10, 2014 So w have to take another pill? Calm magnesium comes in a powder that you mix with Water. It also helps with BMs if you're stopped up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYCkindofgirl 62 Posted June 10, 2014 Sometimes the leg cramps are a result of being a little dehydrated. I get them when I drink less than 64 oz. of Water. I also take a magnesium supplement, but it's a powder that I mix with still more water. However, it's always a good idea to see your doctor. Each person is a little different.
