Leg Cramps/Calf and side of Calf

Hi: I've been having really bad cramping in both legs in the calf and the side of my leg that runs up from my ankle. I drink lots of water and my doc. had me taking calcium and magnesium. I've also started using a foam roller. These are literally cramping my swimming style and how often/far I can swim. Any ideas or suggestions. Thank you. Nancy

  • Could it also be your ankles are a little stiff and you have to keep your calf flexed to hold feet streamlined? Walls make my lower calf and feet fatigue, but when fully flexed (like when streamlined), the outer calf seems to take the load.
