Does anyone else get leg cramps...... - peanutbuttercookie

Posted: Sep 21st, 2016 - 2:03 pm

...from sitting at your desk all day? I try to get up and move around every half hour or so, but lately I've been getting leg cramps at night, especially around bedtime. I drink water, eat bananas, OJ, etc. I don't know if it's a magnesium/potassium/dehydration problem or just this job.

I also try to do at least 10 minutes of stretching, yoga or pilates, but nothing seems to really help.
