I get them too, I call them charlie horses, they are so painful. I hate them! It is a lack of calcium and potassium.

Cramps in your muscles is because you don't have enough water, magnesium, or potassium in your system. That is why they say to eat bananas (potassium) for period pains. I don't think it has anything to do with HRT. Try taking a multi-vitamin every day, and drink more water. Or if you exercise, make sure you are warming up beforehand.

hey there, i get these cramps alot. it seems to come from a lack of salt in my diet. perhaps you could try increasing your intake slightly. also, you could also try looking at the nhs direct website - there may be extra helpful info on there! good luck :)

most women usually have problems with their bones when they reach menopause. my neighbour needs a few minutes to stand after she sits down for a while. get your doctor to check for arthritis
