For leg cramps...Magnesium, epsom salts foot baths.. 20 min.

..2 qt very warm water, add 1/4 cup epsom salts.. stir til melted. after soak wipe feet down with warm clean moist cloth and moisturize and put on socks.( so will not slip with moisturizer on feet.). do leg strengthening exercises.. do toe circles in both directions evenly . ex. 3 both ways. 3 to right and 3 to left in circle- each foot.

Don't smoke or be around others who do.

Do deep breathing exercises..Concentrate on even breaths in and out...

.. begin doing shoulder exercises., things to strengthen your upper arms...holding arms straight out from shoulders and doing circles with index finger, whole arm... if not hard enough, add a 14 oz can of veggies to each hand.

isometrics also build strength with time. these involve tensing and relaxing each set of muscles... you can choose to do just arms, or whole body.. tense each set of muscles in order.. I egin with feet/ankles, and work up....concentrate on tensing them slowly holding for a slow count of 3 and then SLOWLY releasing.. sets of 3 to start.

From following Dr Joel Wallach who has helped many people to not have to go through surgery for knee or hip replacements, it sounds like MSM would help you a lot but I would contact him for the proper information and supplements to take.

Do research hip RESURFACING as well! The SurfaceHippy website has full discussions. Important you get an experienced doctor. I flew to Belgium for Dr. DeSmet both times, cheaper than the procedure here.

I had prolotherapy for my hip which kept me walking for a few years before I finally had two hip resurfs (if your good hip has been unnaturally flexed for a long time, the cartilage may have worn and eventually you'll need a 2nd hip). Again, an experienced doctor can make prolotherapy less scary, as it requires long needles to place a proliferant into your hip. (Dr. Megan Shields in LA.)

Try a capsule per day of BioCell chicken sternum extract from SwansonVitamins.com for 4 months and then you may be able to cancel your hip or knee replacement.

This happened to someone (hip) and their friend (knee) that I recommended Swanson chicken sternum to, both hip and knee replacement cancellations.

PipingRock.com still has the Kollagen brand of chicken sternum capsules which Swanson used to have which created these above healings, but I switched to BioCell at Swanson to try their brand.

X-rays confirmed the healed hip. Chicken sternum powder has type 2 collagen which builds cartilage. A bird flaps it's wings many times per day, the sternum being the shock absorber, so a bird needs something to heal it's sternum fast, on a daily basis.

Taking chicken sternum didn't heal my injured shoulder, but in 3 or 4 months or sooner, it sure filled in my knees which were loose in their sockets and made my knees tight fitting and strong as before.

So I will continue to take a chicken sternum capsule mornings for life.
