I've heard about the low potassium - I suggest a banana a day for leg cramps. My Mother suggests putting a bar of Dove soap between the sheets at the foot of your bed. She says it works to keep cramps away. You could also be dehydrated. r/yvonne57

If it happens at night, drink a glass of tonic water before bed. The quinine in the tonic water helps I find.

Try breathing in a bag for as long as you can to relieve a leg cramp. Worked for my dad and me.

The vitamins will help. Magnesium is another good one for relaxation.

Too much exercise. Relax, have few pints and you won't feel any pain.
