Why do my legs hurt?

At night I get a pain from my thigh down to about my knee. It wakes me up it's so painful. I get it in alternate legs and lying on my back is ok. I also wake up with a really dry mouth.

Could there not be enough salt in my diet? Or is it even the diet - I had my gall bladder out 5 weeks ago.

It's annoying me now, but no pain in the day.

it could be that your muscles are cramping - which is a sign of dehydration. Drink more before you go to bed!! xx

just read your other post about your 1lb weight loss. sounds to me like water is the issue. how much are you drinking a day? drinking more water could solve the issue of losing more weight, and stopping your nighttime cramps! xx

Good luck drinking more (and more middle of the night visits to the loo!!!) I usually drink between 3.5 and 4.5L a day.
