hey C - up early?
The leg spasms/pain/cramps - is a total pain in the arse. There are lots of tips for this on the boards. The ones i used were
drink tonic water - it contains quinine which is good for leg cramps
eat bananas - they contain potassium which is also good for cramps
get a couple of hot water bottles on them - hot/cold presses are good for pain relief
take a hot bath before bed (add some lavender oil to the bath if you have any - this may help you sleep)
I also paced around for hours - up & down the stairs to try and tire my legs out.
Its uncomfortable, i know - and it keeps you awake most of the night - BUT - your nearly on day5 now! AND THAT IS PROGRESS! :)
Im off to work now (8:30 in the UK) , i'll check back on you later.
i hope your legs get some relief soon. take care.
yoss
keep on keepin on
