Leg Cramping

[MCE1205 47]

I am 6 mos post op RNY. Last night while I was laying in bed watching television, I developed severe leg cramping in both upper thighs. It was so painful it was almost impossible to get out of bed. Luckily I had a bottle of Water on nightstand and drank a lot of Water thinking it may have been due to dehydration. I finally laid on my side and stretched my leg and did the same to the other side. It wasn't a Charlie horse which is in the calf. It finally relaxed but wow was it uncomfortable. Anyone else experience this?

Pickle juice! Drink a shot glass full.

It could be your potassium levels. You need to get checked. I would call the doctor.

Thanks for the posts. I thought about potassium. I know a banana will help pretty fast.
