Pickle juice has been my cramp reliever for quite a long time. It really doesn’t take much! I’ve even had my mom try it when her cramps were bad and it worked for her too!
One thing my mom swore by is putting a bar of soap or two near her feet when she’s in bed! She said it worked for her so much she stopped drinking the pickle juice! Lol

Every now and then I get these real bad upper leg cramps that wake me up in a sound sleep. I ride bike (pedal) on the bike trail a lot and I go any where from 4-to 8-hours a day or every other day. I know when i wake up in the morning I can’t do a full stretch otherwise I get a bad cramp on the lower part of my leg. i have to do a 1/2 stretch from the waist up so I don’t get a leg cramp.

In reply to Ann O'Sullivan. I'm pleased you found such a straightforward solution to your cramp difficulties Ann. Table salt usually contains mangesium, potassium and sodium, which all help reduce cramp. Restless leg syndrome can be due to iron deficiency, and iron is present in some table salts. By drinking salt water you may have given your body the nutrients it was lacking, and you have benefited from a reduction in cramp.

Thank you for the information I occasionally get cramps in my leg and upper thigh at. I walk it out, but I will try the ice and stretching with a towel. Again many thanks, they seem to be more prevalent in Senior Citizens.

Have tried Quinine tablets, Magnesium, massage on affected leg parts….. and think that a drink of diluted solution of table salt and water is the best cure.
Of course too late for prevention!
If there is any connection I used to suffer dreadfully from ‘Restless Legs’ syndrome !

Coladh samh to all!
