Fracture a joint? Smoke a joint.

I have a friend that swears by mustard. He eats a spoon full of yellow mustard anytime he starts cramping and says it relieves the cramping in a few minutes. I intend to try it next time I need it but I have only cramped up about three times in my entire life.

I knew a girl in my old mtb team that to ward off cramps mountain biking would drink pickle juice. I also started using Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar exclusively in my daily salads as well in glasses of water. Apparently it's supposed to be helpful for muscle cramps... http://www.livestrong.com/article/282008-cider-vinegar-to-treat-leg-cramps/

I also have had so much in the way of food poisoning and salmonella recently that I figure if vinegar is good for disinfecting and cleaning that it's probably a good internal cleaner along with GSE.

and if you can't get mustard just go to the photo store and buy a bottle of Stop Bath.

I'll try the mustard trick next time I cramp up, could be tomorrow as I'll be working outside all day & it seems to follow long hot days of exertion, no matter how much I hydrate. Time to eat more salads too, heavy on the vinegar. Thanks for the info guys.

salts the old school cramp remedy isn't it? drink the odd Gatorade or powerade(cordial with 'electrolytes' in em) between water intake when sweating it out. water good for rehydrating but flushes/dilutes/doesn't replace essential salts/sugars blah blah blah. do some stretching in the morning & during the day too.

punch out a few bongs during lunch & youll forget all about cramps. probably forget all about work too
