Those spasms in the feet and calves are killers! I get them 2 to 3 times a week! I finally took AMN's advice and got a percussion massager and it has been a life saver! I massage my calf and thigh muscles to relax my toes and arches and my calf muscles. Sometimes it takes 20-30 minutes to get the calf muscles to release. Heat helps.

I take Sinemet and klonopin. Baclofen and Tizanidine did nothing for me but put me to sleep! Also the weekly deep tissue massage has helped me a lot, believe it or not!

When my hands cramp up, warming them helps. Not much else I can do.

I hope you don't get them too often. If you are going to be teaching dance, make sure you keep your muscles warm and your body well hydrated. That will help.

I agree with the heat FG - when my legs are bad I turn my electric blanket on and crawl into bed..... not to much heat but heat is good for me.

But only when I'm trying to sleep.

Squeezing my feet with warm hands helps a lot, also, I use a percussion massager on the sides and backs of my thighs but I don't have me a HandsomeHottie (so you should really pity ME!).

OH AMN I do pity you! That is not fair at all. hehehe! Everyone should have a HH!

That is why I just love this place...you all can understand my descriptions of what I am going through. Unfortunately.

You should call the doc. When I took it I felt so much better. Good luck to you DM!

Thanks so much flygirl. I will remember that! I will be teaching now until June, only 2.5 hrs a week but still that was enough to set me off last week. I just hope that was a one time thing!

Hi Yeahbut! I am doing good! HH is doing great too! I love all the posts (he does too when I read them to him) And no he doesn't have a brother ladies. I might be willing to share.....

I taugh yesterday with very little cramping so I am hoping that was it. My legs are still weak and ache but I will take that over the cramping pain!!!!

You may have an excellent point, RW, I know a couple of drummers, maybe we could borrow their sticks.
