Night leg aches and tonic water

[genie]

Hello everyone, I saw by my doc the other day and was asking about the nightly leg aches that sometimes get really bad, he suggested tonic water. So, I thought I'll try it, if you don't like tonic water like me it seems a bit like med's but I do think it helps at least a bit so I can get to sleep. So, just wanted to share a home remedy that my doc shared with me that I think helps with this problem. I know we've posted this topic before so I wanted to share my new discovery. If you try it let me know if you notice a difference.

Oh and I forgot, he suggested 4 to 8 oz before bed

Thanks so much for the advice. I have horrible leg aches at night and nothing has helped. I'll try anything at this point. Let's hope for sweet dreams.

thanks

Tonic water is usually suggested because it has quinine in it. It can be helpful if you suffer from some muscle cramping.

I shall most definetely try this, i have terrible trouble with leg aches.

Guess, he didn't mention anything about droping a bit of a gin into it did he???

Thanks for the tip, i shall try this over the next week and report back.
