On Sunday 14th my hubby accidentally kicked my left leg in the calf, really hard.
All day and through to now, Tuesday it's been badly cramping day and night leaving me literally screaming with pain! Barely any night sleep.
I took pain killers and also ate some raw Coleman's mustard which helps.
VERY bad night last night.
Instead of being up at 6 for work at 7, this morning I didn't crash out of bed until 9:33! Quickly fed our 2 fish, 1 cat, no time for a shower, at work for 9:51!
@SnelsetterFarm I Googled food to eat for cramps and it suggested Coleman's!
I drink a glass of cold milk then take a 1/4 of a teaspoon of mustard, rub it on the roof of my mouth with my tongue then swallow it quick because of the burning from the turmeric but it's the turmeric that eases the pain!
Pills/tablets, which can take hours to ease the pain, or not at all, the mustard starts easing within a couple of minutes!
I don't know if it works on everyone but it certainly does on me!
@LittleFatty Next time I do something dumb and hurt myself, I'll experiment with it. Shouldn't be long. Thanks!
@LittleFatty Mustard for muscle pain is new to me. Where did you come by this?
As always, trying to look up something health related dredges up the worst lies and dodgy pseudo-science the internet has to offer.
