The health risk is in ignoring the leg cramps. Many are caused by anemia. A man is not anemic unless he: 1. has cancer, or 2. is pregnant.

:
: My husband had been getting severe leg cramps several times during the night, probably due to his low
: potassium diet. We found many suggestions on the internet, and the one that worked still surprises me - I think
: it is accupressure. When you get in bed at night, using your forefinger and thumb, pinch and massage the area
: between your nose and lips for a minute or two. We jokingly tried this, but for 4 nights he had no leg cramps.
: The fifth night we purposely didn't do it, and he had a leg cramp that night. So, he started doing it again and
: has no leg cramps since. I find it hard to believe, and we chuckle about it all the time. But, it doesn't cost
: anything to try and there is no health risk. Clare Erickson
