I've always had a problem with leg cramps at night. As I have gotten older, they have gotten more frequent and more severe. I have been able to somewhat moderate them with supplements. So they are not as frequent and not as severe but they do happen occasionally.
I was looking for something that would provide quick relief when cramps do occur. Someone suggested looking for Magnesium Cream. I found this and gave it a try. It works well.
So now if I wake up and feel a cramp in progress (I normally wake up before a cramp hits peak pain). I get up and rub this on the area that is cramping. Very quickly the cramp subsides and I can get back to sleep. I don't know of anything that works faster and stopping a nighttime leg cramp.
The cream dispenses well, no bad smells, feels OK on my skin. Nothing special as a skin lotion, but I'm not using it for that purpose. It does seem to quickly dissipate the cramps and that is what I was looking for.
