OH these cramps are terrible! I get them everywhere....for me it is lack of magnesium and if I don't get enough protein and water. I Keep an ice bag in the freezer....it is the only thing that helps....to apply the ice bag above the cramp. I have been bent over with these, actually in tears.....extremely painful! AND the toe cramps and foot cramps....yikes ...the worst for me was I got a few cramps in my THIGH....OMG I thought I was dying....One night in desperation I rubbed some vicks vapour rub on my shin where the cramp was ...it worked....I also find the next day my muscles are sooo sore.......ALL great suggestions here...find what works for you...I  hope you get some relief for them they are nasty little buggers...

I never thought of vicks for a cramp. I will try this, I did find the cold helps.

Thanks for the suggestion
