You need to take a lot of potassium and you're not going to get it from bananas because they actually don't have much potassium . Lots of spinach or better yet the greens from beet roots... you're better Grocers usually carry them . Or maybe get good quality potassium pills
I had a really intense leg cramp while doing a 2 min plank yesterday just to stay active but as soon as i stood up i actually felt a little cramp but until the next morning my legs felt so heavy, it felt like a whole pound of potatoes stacked in both of my legs. So i looked up 'how to relieve leg cramps' and i came across this vid so i played it and followed what the lady in the vi did, as soon as both my legs were off my chair taking turns, both of my legs felt loose and wow this kind of technique did kind of work! Kinda impressed
Having a cramp in 2022 & this is by far the best video I've seen of getting straight to it but also giving me valuable information as you help me stretch! Great approach & vid!!
@@AskDoctorJo just had the worst calf muscle cramp of my life and it was still tight and I couldn’t walk properly. These stretches were a godsend. Thank you.
At Last Young Lady! A remedy for my calves cramps. GOD bless you. In the first trial today, it seems like the calves are "getting very hard" but after stretching ( I can only wthstand 10 seconds series), I went back to bed, and the difference start to feel. A lot less "pulses" previous to cramps and of course No Cramps. Just imagine in some more days, going to bed without the Fear of get asleep! I Appreciate.
I been having cramps in calf muscle for the last 4 days and didn't know what else to do. i drink water and eat healthy but was still in pain. i came across your video and started doing my stretch excercise for my calf and what a relief im having. Thank you so much Dr. jo👍👍👍
OMG, i was in so much pain every morning with cramps and this has helped so much, as long as I stretch every morning and night I rarely get them anymore going on 2 weeks now. Thank you so much, you gave me my life back!
Hi Dr Jo, Great advise as always, we all love your videos. One thing I would like to mention is every time when I got muscles cramp, it is painful, all I have to do is WALK BACKWARD OR CRAW BACKWARD if I can’t stand because it so is painful. I do not know how but 99% of the times, the paint relieves tremendously. My friend was swimming and he got leg muscle cramp so bad that he was going to drown, I creamed to him to swim backward and he made to safety. Does not matter where is muscle cramp, just remember to walk backward. Everyone I told all saying it works. Do not know what behind the scene, but it works. Want to share with everybody. Thanks Doc
This afternoon while I was taking a nap I had an Immediate and intense cramp in my calf. This was the very first cramp of my life at the age of 16 , turns out that I actually ran and then climbed a lot of stairs before taking a nap and didn't even drink water. And that's why I had it. And that experience was horrible, believe me it feels like someone has stabbed in your calf and automatically you start to scream.
Dude my ex had the same problem. Before we started dating, back in 8th grade when I met her, she would have lots of cramps at night in her thighs and would keep her up and she would be crying of the pain it would cause her. Then she started going on some meds I think i and it would help prevent almost all of them so she could sleep.
Oh my Goodness. I have had unbearable cramp for five days now. Just tried your stretches and I feel so much better. Especially the second one. Thank you.
I am so happy that I got relieved from my cramps. I couldn't get a good night sleep with these cramps bothering me. It was painful and I am sure it's just cramps not some deficiency. I practiced these exercises right now and i feel much better. Thank you Doctor Jo...😊
Thanks Dr. Jo. This stretching really helped in reliving the soreness after a leg cramp. I don't know why I get them in the middle of the night; and it's very annoying because the soreness would stay for days.
I was having cramp in my leg from two day ,i was in pain from two days ,I search on you tube and saw your video, my pain gone within a minute thank so much🌹🌹
I literally just got out of my car after coming back from a leg workout and got instant quad cramp. Literally sat down on my driveway for the next 5min until it went away 💀💀💀
took my part in school sport for the first time in 10 years and did some exercising and my legs gave up i couldn't walk properly the entire day but this video helped relieve the pain so much. i feel so much better and the pain is almost gone
After a leg cramp try to massage the area that got hit by a cramp. It helped me at least. I can't promise that this will prevent future cramps, but it really reliefs the pain I usually have afterwards
I only occasionally get nighttime cramps, and usually it's in my quads. Most of the time it's the inner quad muscle and when I shoot out of bed from being awakened by the pain, I attempt to relieve the quad cramp and develop a hamstring cramp. Last night I had cramps in both quads and I nearly passed out from the pain. A cold shower/bath is the quickest way I have found to relieve the cramping. I think dehydration is the main cause. Thank you for the stretching exercises. I think we could relieve most aches and pains by adopting a good stretching routine.
Everyday i am doing this type of exercise thank you and the u tube for sharing me for it stop my pain in my foot and legs inviting the spectator to try it!
Hi Dr. Jo, I’ve been loving your channel and at 74, fit, but a lot of arthritis, its really helped during this quarantine. I’ve had foot cramping for years. I drink water and take magnesium, but the pain can be excruciating. What exercises do you suggest for the foot
Dr. Jo thanks so much for this video. I have got cramps in my hands, leg ankles and waist area. If i sit for longer time i would get cramps in waist area. Can you please suggest appropriate therapy for that.
Hi Dr. Jo. I am a PTA and I love your videos. I have a question. Some of my patients get cramps while they are stretching these muscle groups, like the quads. If I stretch them as in a passive stretch it’s a little better. Another colleague mentioned PNF like a hold and release technique could work. Any other tips for stubborn cramps that occur while stretching?
I get leg cramps during and after tennis matches. Should I do these exercises during the change overs or between points to prevent a cramp if I feel like it's coming on or if I've had a light cramp? Or are these only before exercise or while you feel a cramp going on? I've also had my leg cramp while I'm driving home in my stick shift car (very scary). What kind of stretches can I do in the confines of a car?
I've been doing your leg cramp stretches for a few months and I've had fewer and less painful leg cramps, thank you very much for this video. P.S. Be careful of trying the iron supplements I found out I'm allergic to them.
Been lifting rocks the past week and a half.. Thank you, I needed this, had lots of knots in my hamstrings and calves, these stretches were painful, but now my legs do feel better

I don't particularly need compression socks, but where do you get that awesome T-shirt?
Thanks. Amazon.com
Very informative and helpful! Thank you
I am subscribed and appreciate all of your help. I wasn’t sure if you meant to wear compression socks to bed at night or just during the day
Thanks. Usually they are not needed at night, but if that is when you have cramps it might be worth trying.
Just got my first cramp at the age of 17, and all I can say is it was the worst pain I’ve felt in my life
Think I was about same age, got it while sleeping and didn’t know tf was happening

Im 14 and got my first a couple months back now i get them at least once a day
I did 250 squats one day and it felt like nothing
the next day i felt like a animal trying to walk

This is why cats wake up and take a long body stretch, feels phenomenal. Stretching your calf muscles is like giving your body candy!
LOL…that’s what set it off! 😬

Cramp was troubling my study...got up nd did all u instructed... Feeling so much releived.... U saved me...gonna do ds everyday

Best!!! Got results immediately..my cramps have vanished just right after doing the three exercises

i’m a swimmer, and i didn’t stretch properly before, and i don’t drink a lot of water and i got a horrible stabbing calf cramp.
I can’t even stand up
I feel like i won't be able to walk anymore help
My coach expects me to walk it off when I can’t move my leg😂😂😂😂
Oof bruh
And I can't lay down once I lay down damn cramps
I feel you
thanks for this ..... i really could use these for after workouts. i am always cramping
You're welcome.
Walk backward right away and the paint would reduce tremendously
Me too...
Same
@@adassociates8235 yeah...i once accidentally figured that out...it's so soothing walking backwards
Thank you so much Dr. Jo! Ive been finding it difficult to sleep because of the pain. This truly helped me! 💖
You’re welcome!
my leg cramps at night is worse, i feel like i have insomnia i can't sleep
Me 2 like right now
Whenever I get leg cramps, I spontaneously, immediately stand up from bed and standing still. That actually helps with easing the cramps.

thanks so much for this video. I have got cramps in my hands, leg ankles and waist area. If i sit for longer time i would get cramps in waist area. Can you please suggest appropriate therapy for that.

Hi Dr. Jo. I am a PTA and I love your videos. I have a question. Some of my patients get cramps while they are stretching these muscle groups, like the quads. If I stretch them as in a passive stretch it’s a little better. Another colleague mentioned PNF like a hold and release technique could work. Any other tips for stubborn cramps that occur while stretching?
Thanks! How about some dynamic stretching? PNF might be worth trying as well.
@@AskDoctorJo Yes, that’s a good idea as well. Thank you 😊
You're welcome. Applying some heat before stretching might also help. Good luck!
Thanks Dr. JO. Going to cut way back on the beer and dring a lot more water.
You're welcome.
Thankyou I feel better then before really good help

Need to know this too it's 3 am n it's happening to right now hurts
Then add toes....
I putted tiger balm it feels alotetter now😊
Thank You Doctor
