Quite often muscle cramps and spasms are simply lack of fluids. I had similar problems when working in hot humid climates, I increased my water intake and like magic they stopped.

Are you getting plenty of exercise? If so, you might try nice warm baths. They can be very soothing for the muscles. Good luck.

potassium is a good way to get rid of cramps, grapefruit juice and bananas (not at the same time) work for me, I sweat alot and get them bad, the grapefruit juice works the fastest.
Good luck(they suck)!

maybe you're lacking potassium. that happens to me sometimes,if i just eat a bunch of bananas over the next few days it will stop. =)

well i dont think theres much to worry about......its usualy from not stretching yourself before exercise.....if you get a cramp just grab your foot where the cramp is and stretch it back towards your shin......i like to let them go i enjoy the pain...ime funny like that.....oh oh another secret out.......cheers ...seamanab x
