It was a Friday and I had a patient into my office for lower back pain. In the process of taking a history about her lower back pain and health it was mentioned that she deals with painfull muslce cramps occasionally at night, but especially after she has had a few drinks like wine. In talking with her she mentioned that she and her husband were having a nice evening with a bottle of wine or two so after we treated her that day, I had her take 2 doses Calcium with 2 doses of B vitamins. I then gave her 3 more sample bottles with 2 doses of calcium and 1 dose of B vitamins each and informed her to take one of these after she drank on Friday night, then another one Saturday night and Sunday night. She returned to my office the following week on Tuesday and when I asked her how her Friday night went she said that she and her husband had drank a couple bottles of wine then she took one of the sample bottles. She slept through the night without any leg cramping. She took the 2nd bottle Saturday night but saved the 3rd bottle for this weekend in case she had a few drinks one night. She said she couldn't remember the last time she had drinks in an evening and didn't get muscle cramps.
