[|Human|] My husband has severe Charlie horses/leg cramps at night especially after sweating a lot or working the clutch on the tractor, I suggested he use the magnesium gel I purchased from Dr. Becker - Bio-nutrients!. A pharmacist suggested he take potassium supplement and eat bananas. What is your suggestion?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe charlie horses/leg cramps. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like inadequate blood supply, nerve compression, mineral depletion or vitamin E deficiency. I would suggest you to do gentle massage of your leg with sesame oil, apply warm compresses on leg, eat healthy diet including banana for potassium and do light walking for 15-20 minutes daily. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may recommend physical therapy and vitamin supplement. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
