18 Days Out-Crampin

Can anyone tell me if they get cramping? my calves, my left and right sides of my back also.... Thank You

Are you getting enough protein and are you drinking all the liquids you are supposed to be drinking???

Just a thought ...

im getting in about 75 grams of protein and drinking 80oz of water

Jacbio, try a potassium supplement and also calcium citrate.  Those two things will help tremendously.
Adding low sugar orange juice and a banana here and there would be good too.  I have had this problem on and off for years, at least now I know how to correct it quickly.  Good luck to you, Lisa

Low potassium can cause muscle cramping and can be dangerous.  May be worth calling your doc?

2 nd and 3 rd week post op I had cramping I scared to stretch just incase some muscle started to cram I was getting adequate water and proteins and vitamins but hadn't as yet started taking calcium so once I started taking calcium and also exercising it stopped. If u haven't started calcium then u should start mild exercise even passive exercise should help.

I had alot of cramping thru my first 3 months.  It has gotten alot better.

Potassium!

Have your PCP run labs for potassium or just add a potassium supplement. 

can i have bananas?

Ugh, I am going through the same thing right now.  Not acute cramping like a charlie horse but my legs ACHE.  Like ache so much I can't fall asleep at night and they just hurt constantly.  I've been medicating with Tylenol but it only does so much.  I MISS ibuprofin!
