Leg cramps are very much connected also with stress and stress we have.!!

With A S Typically starts in the lower back which puts added pressure on the spinal cord. Tightening the muscles in the back, butt and legs. Stretching exercises daily, massaging, cold packs - can reduce inflammation. Heat packs - can ease tight muscles. Keep hydrated as fluid helps muscles contract/relax. If you are taking high blood pressure meds (diuretics) they decrease your potassium, calcium and magnesium. Too little of these can cause cramps. Speak to your doctor

I drank quinine water, still take magnesium, and am always drinking water. My feet hate all shoes. Has to be related to my lower back and foot neuropathy.

Thanks for the replies to my leg cramps, I've been trying quinine with my magnesium tablets so far so good.
