        Each evening my lower legs hurt. Any ideas?

          Like leg cramps while your sitting or while your in bed?  personally I would try a shot of pickle juice before bed and see if that helps.  I used it for my kids and my hubby and it works wonderfully.

          I’m not a doctor though just a mom of 6 kids and past experience but today is my 1st day on this learning journey.

            Tell us more about the pain. Is it cramping? Is it nerve pain? Is there any swelling or circulatory issues?

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              It only happens at night when I have gone to bed. It doesn’t happen every night. It doesn’t cramp, it is just constant pain.

              It could be circulatory issues along with all the other things wrong with me. Thus I’m enrolled to figure out how to help me and my husband survive old age. haha

                  I’d try some nervines. The Rest Easy Formula internally or topically might be really good. It’ll help you sleep too. There are lots of others too. Hops topically or internally is a favorite of mine.

                  Have a look at the Pain Management lessons. Lots of good ideas there as well. :0)

                  Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                  I have the tincture of Hops and so I sprayed it on my calves and the pain went away. I did do a couple of doses, but I was able to sleep and that was awesome. Thanks.
