 I know this is a loaded question...just from my own experiance. But I am having ALOT more muscle cramps lately. my shoulders and shoulder blades always have spasms same with my min to lower back. But recently my right but cheeck down the back of my leg and into my calf all cramp up really bad. My left calf has been doing it too. Almost like charlie horses but not quite that bad. On my legs I have been having to put Icy hot on at night because it hurts so much.

Any Ideas??

 My doctor recommended I take both "Calcium and Magnesium" supplements along with my daily vitamin and wow, tht Magnesium has really helped. I no longer have my 'charlie horse' leg cramps that God.

 My dr gave me Cymbalta for them but she also has me take a potasium tablet every day.
