JB,

I take Calcuim and Magnesium for these and ask to get your vitamin panels

checked, If it is low potassium, you can ask him to check to make sure.

My thigh charlie horses are my bursitis, my charlie horses are in my calves of

my legs. Here is a wikipedia article explaining calcium, potassium, magnesium,

relationship and spasm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp
