I wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will help you too. I’d been suffering with painful calf muscles for some time. It was always worse during the night. They ached so much it would wake me up and the pain would make it hard for me to go back to sleep. On top of the painful aches my calf muscles started to feel as if they were about to cramp. And on several occasions they did just that. It was agony!

Even when my muscles didn’t go into full cramp they were tight and painful. I didn’t dare stretch my legs out to ease the aching in case I brought on a full cramp and ended up rolling around the bed with tears in my eyes. 

I tried to solve the problem by soaking in a warm bath before bedtime and I also massaged my legs before getting into bed. And I made a point of relaxing my leg muscles while I was reading in bed before going to sleep. I went for walks regularly but made sure that I didn’t overdo it. I tried for a healthy level of working my muscles without straining them.

None of this stopped my muscle pain during the night.

After a couple of months I was feeling exhausted from lack of sleep. Menopause was disturbing my sleep pattern in itself with its hormonal disruption and night sweats. I really didn’t need aching cramping legs adding to the problem. Lack of sleep and the persistent pain was getting me down. I was lethargic and unable to concentrate. Getting everyday stuff done was becoming a strain.

I needed to find a solution and the sooner the better.

Luckily I came across an article about the importance of magnesium for women in perimenopause and menopause. I’d not heard of magnesium or its benefits before so I decided to take a closer look. I wanted to know if this was genuine and if it would help me with my painful calf muscles. 

There was a lot of information and recommendations for Magnesium in its various forms and it turns out that magnesium is important for everyone. Magnesium is vital for our overall health. Everything from how well we sleep through to bone health and brain function. And fortunately for me it’s also great for easing muscle aches and cramping. 

So I bought myself a small bottle of BetterYou Magnesium Oil Spray (Original) so I could test it out. I admit to being a bit sceptical so I took a good look at the information on the bottle before I did my test run. It said that the BetterYou Magnesium Oil Spray is a pure 100% natural preparation of Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate that’s easily and quickly absorbed through the skin. 

Sounds great I thought, but will it work?

The first night I used the spray I only squirted two sprays on each calf muscle as I wasn’t sure how much I needed. I had no idea how low my magnesium levels might be, or even if they were low at all. Not wanting to overdo it on the first go I thought it better to build up over time if that’s what I needed. 

I was surprised at the way the oil absorbed quickly after it was massaged in. There was no greasy feel to it at all. I’d forgotten about the ‘magnesium tingle’ that you can get the first few times you use it. But I was reminded soon enough when my calf muscles reacted to the oil. It wasn’t painful and stopped after a few minutes, but it was a strange sensation.

So did it work?

Yes! Despite only using a little of the oil on that first night the results were wonderful. I wasn’t woken in the night by aching crampy legs at all. When I did wake due to overheating I had no leg pain and I could stretch my legs out to get comfortable without feeling that my calf muscles would cramp. By the time I woke up on that first morning my calf muscles were aching a little but I wasn’t expecting an instant result. I was just thinking that the effect of the magnesium oil would build overtime. So the fact that I’d experienced such a big improvement on the first go was really encouraging.

I increased the amount of sprays over the next few weeks until I found my optimum level of comfort. I also bought myself a good supply of the BetterYou Magnesium Oil Spray so that I don’t get caught out and suffer the pain and cramping again. While I still wake up with a few night sweats which are menopause related I don’t get woken up by leg pain at all. Which is such a relief.

I no longer feel lethargic, fuzzy headed and low due to lack of sleep. Everyday stuff is just everyday stuff and I get it done without any fuss. I don’t have to worry about waking up in pain anymore and I can stretch out in bed to get cosy and comfortable without my calf muscles cramping. It’s also nice to know that the magnesium is doing other aspects of my health a favor too. BetterYou Magnesium Oil Spray has made such a difference for me and it could work for you too.
