Question

thanks soo much to the 2nd answer.
not the first!

Answer 1

The legs are always the first place your body targets when you are dehydrated. Drink lots of water! I recommend purified water and Mineral Water mixed 50/50. The Mineral Water is going to put back into the muscles the minerals they are losing on a daily basis. You must drink beyond your thirst to get the benefits of hydration.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body.

In the evening take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. Afterwards, if you have something shaped like a cylinder and made out of hard material (think of a large rolling pin you would use for pizza dough or something) place it under your leg and push down and roll it back and forth...this should massage the spasms out of your leg. It will hurt while you're doing it, but more so the type of pain that actually feels good, in the long run. Afterwards massage an analgesic cream into the area. You will start feeling better very quickly.

Answer 2

you could have restless leg syndrome, but only if you have the urge to get up and move a lot. I have a knee that hurts and i like to take Naproxen for it. I got it from my doctor years ago, but it's recently become an over the counter pain relief and it works really well. You may also want to try propping your legs up on pillows, it may help with swelling. Good luck finding what makes you feel better. Hope relief comes quickly for you.
