Yes! I have some magnesium oil spray that I made from magnesium Chloride that I can spritzon the painful cramps and rub in. I have tried using the magnesium glycinate powder I put in capsules and it really does help. Still sometimes a problem anyway. Then I found out that drinking loads more water during the day coupled with getting plenty of pink sea salt helps a lot. Hang in there.
When it happens sometimes my toes and foot get stuck in a overextended position because the muscles are drawing so hard and nothing I try counters it. I have been told that inflammation in the body contributes and also that we have not a good concept of how much H20 it takes to prevent dehydration. The older we get, the worse the dehydration problem becomes.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I've discovered that when my muscles are overextended if I stretch them just a bit further, they release. A painful few seconds, then total relief.
