As you mention that you are taking several preventive measures, still not getting relief from thigh cramp then it is the right time to consult a doctor. My uncle also suffered from muscle cramps he tried several preventive measures such as drinking plenty amount of water, exercise, and intake of certain vitamins or minerals, but not get relief from self-care. After going through under medical treatment for some days he gets some relief from the muscle cramp.

Quinine can have the same effect as caffeine and stop you sleeping.

I was once in a situation where I could not drink alcohol and tonic water was the only non-alcoholic drink available. I had 4 wine glasses of tonic water over an evening and couldn't sleep for 24 hours after.

My friend swears a potato in the bed works. So, off to bed you go with potato, corks, soap, bananas, tonic water, salt, no salt, water and a pint of gin.
Sleep well!

I take magnesium tablets but still sometimes get leg cramps during the night, particularly if I've been out and about for the day and am slightly dehydrated.

Magnesium gel, applied topically, is absolutely fantastic. It only takes a couple of minutes to stop the cramping, and I always keep the bottle within easy reach of my bed. It's definitely my Desert Island product!

Hi everyone, have a look at my recent post in the Health section under "restless legs syndrome." Interesting.
