Karin:
What's interesting though is that CindyLou and I have both had ADR surgery already. Why would we still have these God-awful cramps if we are supposedly fixed? This is a great mystery. I have almost injured myself by getting tangled in the blankets when trying to fly out of bed as it is so painful when the calves cramp up. It wakes me up out of a sound sleep and I go flying out of the bed. One calf muscle felt like it was ripped for a few days afterwards as it cramped up so bad. I wish I could find an answer. I hate taking any more medications. I'm already paying $150 a month for my co-pays on medications as it is.
Any answers anyone besides my stretching routine?
