Cramping in my legs won't go away (1 Viewer)

[Bengalsfan]

Hey guys...for the last 4-5 days I'm dealing with my legs and feet wanting to cramp up very easily. I drink a ton of water every day. I walk a lot at work, but I've been on this job for weeks now and then all of the sudden this has started, so I don't think it's from walking and being on my feet...I should be past the sore stage from the walking.

Thoughts?

Eat a banana... you're lacking potassium.

Yes, consider replacing electrolytes. Try some pedialyte, gator are or coconut water.

drink some pickle juice.

Dr. ClownCausedChaos here. As the FFA Chief Resident in charge of proctology, my expertise lies mostly in dealing with head injuries. In your case, though, I'll make an exception

I'm going to refer you to your Primary Care Physician. Tell them I sent you.

But seriously, if you're worried about it, see a doctor. The chances are slim, but I believe leg cramps can sometimes be indicative of other problems.

Eat a banana before running to the ER and maybe take a multi vitamin to replenish your potassium.
