I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing such excruciating leg cramps.

I would like to add this, if after trying all that has been suggested by Rosebud and Zuleikaa and the cramps persist for a period of time, it would be wise for you to see a physician.

My mother had the same problem. She always took her cal/mag/zinc at night and had been for years. She was taking a potassium supplement too but nothing seemed to help. She also noticed that her legs were hurting more and more while on the treadmill. After seeing her doctor she found out that she has artheriosclerosis in her legs.

That is not to say that you have this by any means, I am just trying to point out that if this or any other condition persists you might want to see your doctor.

It may be nothing but it is not wise to ignore symptoms if they persist.
