I can't sleep because of leg pains every night!

[colider]

I am having leg pains that make it so I can't sleep at night (every night). I read what people said about potasium and drinking more water but was wondering? Is there a supliment out there that has 100% of your daily recommended potasium? My mother inlaw tried to give me a bottle of potasium pills that she had but I turned her down because it was only 3% of what you need daily. Is this normal? Are all potasium suppliments like this? I also had someone tell me that Centrum is the worst vitamin there is because it comes out the other end with the writing still visible on the pill. Is this true??? What multivitamin should I take then???? I am willing to invest my money in a good multi vitamin but am usually cheap in general :-0

See a physician. Leg pains can be due to things other than a lack of potassium.

The potassium and water increase is for leg muscle "CRAMPS" not leg muscle pain. I agree you should see a physician.

Hmmmm, I think I will wait and see what happens after I get my potasium suppliments because I know this is from the diet. But if it continues after I know that I am doing all that I can I will go to the doctor.

Thank you for your advice,
