So every night I eat 3 large pickles before I turn in for the evening. one night I forgot to eat my pickles and my leg started cramping. Does eating pickles really make the leg cramps stay away? I hope so, I have upped my intake to 4 large pickles now for fear of the pain I suffered!

I have always been told that when having leg cramps, a helpful remedy is to eat a banana. Supposedly, the potassium in the banana is helpful. It works for me! And bananas are yummy!

Does weight have anything to do with leg cramps? I seem to have more leg cramps than my less weighty friends.

I take large towels and run them under ice cold water. I ring them out and fold them up so that they will lay across the backs of my legs. Laying on my stomach, I place them on the back parts of my legs for relief. -Thomas, 41
