Make sure you have a good amount of electrolytes in your system daily.
For the cramps if they are in that specific area i would use a magnesium transdermal cream. My 81 year old grandmother had these nocturnal night cramps for years before i recommended she start using the magnesium cream well in a few days the cramps stopped and she is able to sleep without disruption. Low iron as mentioned can cause cramps and poor circulation in the body. Also low thyroid conditions can cause these cramps and again poor circulation due to lack of blood flow, it could be something worth checking out. Hope this helps. |

Among other times, I used to get them every single time I had a B12 shot after 5 pm and I didn't do any exercise afterwards. Quite by accident I discovered that if I had a B12 shot and took a magnesium tablet I didn't get any cramping. Now I take a magnesium tablet several times a day, partially because I needed to build up the bone in my jaw that had been weakened by long and intense use of Ibuprofen, and I haven't had a cramp in.. I would say years.

Is that were there are pin points of red from the broken blood vessels? I used to get that even when I didn't have any cramping. I forget what it's called, but it can be an indication of low B12, the same way that bleeding gums and intense periods can be symptoms of low B12. I haven't had that now for a long time.
