Nocturnal leg cramps

[HoJoPT]

or Restless Leg Syndrome. Any clues on how to treat ? I have one but it is so bizarre that most scientists among us would scoff. Being a sufferer, I can attest to the efficacy of this approach. If anyone is interested, you can email me at [email protected] You will not regret the remedy I am proposing.

Hi Hojo,

Please feel free to add it to the forum. We are all here to learn...

this is very common in pregnant women and some of them have found relief by taking extra vitamin B6 and also doing plenty of stretches and leg exercises during the day. It does seem in some people to be hormone balance related ie is often worse in women when they are premenstrual or pregnant. but what causes it in men I have no idea

I have worked extensively for many years on the treatment of nocturnal cramps or Restless Leg Syndrome(RLS) and have come to the conclusion that the majority (not all) are caused by neuropraxia of the common peroneal nerve as it winds around the head of fibula. This, in turn, may be caused by an L5 lesion or a repetitive lateral ankle strain causing weakness in the ankle everters.
It can be remedied by mobilising the head of fibula, either by finger pressure (as in Maitland) or by Impact Therapy (IT) with the use of small sand and seed bags. Acupuncture/acupressure along the gall bladder meridian will also help.

I am wondering how bizarre your treatment is,Hojopt, that you are unable to share it with us on the internet. I find it also bizarre that some of my colleagues,sidney43 and jrcacupressure, respond as if Hojopt has asked them a question. Maybe all of you can enlighten me.
