A sign of getting old.

I have pulled a couple of muscles before. That's what I called it anyways because I never went to the doctor. One from hunting all day in CRP. with a snow. It was that muscle on top of your femur that lifts your leg. The other was a groin muscle from pulling cockle burs for two days. Mine plagued me for a long time. I have two buddies and a brother who are plagued with leg cramps after a big hunt. My brother takes some kind of anti-cramp supplement he buys from Amazon. One buddy keeps apple sider vinegar in his truck, takes a sip after a hunt. The other drinks pickle juice. I think they all work. Be careful about that 64 oz of water that Wksbowhunter recommended. I'm sure it works for him but might not be for everyone. I have a friend who was an athlete in his earlier years. Played college football. For whatever reason started drinking 1-2 gallons of water a day last summer. Almost killed him.
 
I suffer from leg cramps also rubbing alcohol grab some pickle juice seems to make them go away then found hemp seed hearts 2-3 spoon fulls daily don’t get them anymore even give the dogs some

Is that "rubbing with alcohol" on the outside or ingesting "rubbing alcohol"?
 
On the positive side (a silver lining), with this pain, I hardly notice the pain in my left shoulder. Kind of like the neuropathy I seem to be having in my feet, my toes may get cold, but now I can't even tell!
 
my former dr. of 25yrs invented Crampx. 8oz bottle will stop any cramp before you can finish the bottle. several times it stopped cramps at half a bottle, just holding a gulp in my mouth. severe cramps, doubled over abdominal, upper thigh, calf, and hands, where i have been in tears, screaming for my wife to get me a bottle. i get cramps alot, i drink a ton of water every day. dr. said my electrolytes were just a little off. likely due to autoimmune problems in the gut.

it was available on amazon for awhile, but last i talked to him, about a year ago, he was not sure how he was going to proceed after current batch ran out. dr. herbert dempsey jr. now goes by MDVIP Lees Summit , MO. you won't be disappointed if you can get some.
 
update: should have looked before i posted. crampx is available on amazon and a few other places online. they now offer 2oz shots. i have bottles in my truck, shaving kit, travel bag, nightstand, kitchen and in the fridge. its tastier cold.

Come to think of it the whole family will have tears in their eyes too laughing so hard at my dramatic response to cramps!

I used to laugh at my Grandfather and Father when they would get one. They would lock up and just stand there in pain for a few minutes. I'd roll in laughter. They always said "one day you'll be here, and it won't be so funny anymore. You just wait."

Let's just say I don't laugh at them anymore when others get one.

The hydration process starts the day before, during, and afterwards. Gallons of water. Since I started doing this, I haven't gotten one. Its been about 3 years now.
 
I use Drip Drop, from Amazon. Recommended by our coaching staff. Last high school i worked at used pickle juice on the bus home for the cramping players.
 
Thanks Benelli Banger. Interesting article.
