Sometimes cramp is caused by lack of fluids, but would mention to your team if your worried or they start getting worse.

Caffeine can aggrevate cramps. Quinine is good and you can get it in small amounts by drinking tonic water. Try standing on a cold floor when you feel it coming on, it might help.

I think our muscles are affected by the change in diet as we need certain food groups to maintain muscle mass.I am starting to look like a skeleton with hardly any muscle and flabby skin on top.I cant get the mucle tone up.Mind Im 56 so dont think there is much I can do about that.So if you are young workout and keep the muscle tone up,you have longer to go than me!Maz x

Hi

I had cramp in my lower legs after my op. I'd never had it before but both my legs really ached at times. It seemed to go after a while....no problems now xx
