Q: Ok, well i have been getting these leg spasms at night when im sleeping. They are super painful and i wake up in serious pain almost crying. it only happens in my calfes. Particually and lately the left 1. Right before it gets super tense and if i can i try and stretch it to relax the muscle so it doesn't have a spasm. If it does i have incredible pain for a short amount of time and i can't even walk (but usually i go back to sleep anyway because its like 3 in the morning) then i have to limp to get ready and walk really slowly during the first couple hours but it just turns into a dull pain. My mom said it's a charley horse and i need more potacium in my diet. Besides bananas what has a lot of potacium? And if they're are any ways to help relax my muscles please tell me! Thanks so much!!! And i will def. rate u if u help me! :D
well, youre in luck!
a kid at my school JUST did a presentation on potassium. lol

tomatoes(1150mg) and avocados(1050mg) have tons of potassium, more so than bananas.
as do raisins(1020mg), apricots(1380mg) , potato chips(1000mg), dried mixed fruit(880mg), and potatoes(600mg), they all have more potassium than bananas do.

(and i totally know what your talking about too, i got one the other day and it still hurts =[ )

Thanks so much! Your right Im lucky! And thanks again! Anything that helps with my pain is great!!! :D ♥♥♥
