Re: leg cramp
my doctor when i used to have charlie horses it means that my potassium is low... he used to tell me to eat more bannana's.... 
if you want to use something topical i would call your doctor first...

Re: leg cramp
Same exact thing happened to me and on Christmas Eve too! I've been trying to stretch and do a little more walking around...

Re: leg cramp
I got one in my right calf too a few weeks ago in the middle of the night. I had DH massage it out and then he helped me out of bed to try and walk it off a little. Since then, I've been doing the calf stretching exercises in "What To Expect When You're Expecting." It seems to be helping some. I've also started wearing socks on my feet in bed to keep me warmer.
I hope you're feeling better!

Re: leg cramp
It happened again to me very early this morning! And in both legs, although the pain was gone in a minute or so...
I going to get some bananas!

Re: leg cramp
Bananas help.
I used to eat 1 or 2 bananas a day, and that really helped to preven them. Its the potassium in it.
