Quinine, as found in tonic water, would probably help too. That's some 1950s medicine. And OJ, since it has more potassium than a banana, and magnesium.

Low sodium spicy V8 is relatively high in potassium. However, be sure that you're not dehydrated first. If you've been piledriving fluids, look into the V8.

I have a potassium chlorate salt substitute (NuSalt). I have to be careful though because I'm on Benazepril and Metoprolol, they retain potassium.

Are you getting enough magnesium and sodium? This is nosey as hell, but what color is your pee?

I'm getting enough sodium based on previous food logging, a little too much but not extreme, and I do take magnesium sulfate because I have a low magnesium intake and epsom salt is just what I have on hand.

Nah, I appreciate you helping. It's a pale yellow.

If the ibuprofen is helping at all, I would just keep a steady flow of fluids and chill for a couple of days on a ton of movement. Did your wife feel around the area and make sure there's nothing out of the ordinary?

She tried to massage it but even a light touch was too much last night. That was weird. It hasn't spasmed today so far so I've been working the area lightly with a roller. It's tender but nothing feels out of the ordinary.

Pain all gone?

It's almost as good as new although I think I need to be careful with it for now, thanks for asking.
