Cramp in Legs

[smurfchops]

Been to Thailand for two weeks and long haul flight home yesterday. Why do we both keep getting cramp in our legsand toes today, and whats the cure ??

[Sqad]

Dehydration, due to not drinking enough fluid in Thailand or in the dehydrating atmosphere of the long haul flight.

Drink plenty of water.....now.

I was the same when I got back from Oz as I was asleep for the latter part of the journey (trying to get in sync with the UK) and my legs were also quite swollen. I had a bath and some water and was more or less back to myself a few hours later.

Keep an eye on it smurf, hopefully you kept moving round on the flight, you don't want to risk DVT - if it starts to be painful, see the doc a.s.a.p.
