I wouldn't do that without talking to your DR. first. That could cause some other problems. You were given HRT for a reason right? I was also having terrible cramps in my legs also. I started taking magnesium and I almost never get them anymore!
Hope they get better soon!

Unfortunately they took a few days to work for me. Hope they are faster for you though! I know they are extremely painful!
If you get them tonight try immediately standing up and press on the the painful spot as hard as you can. it seems to give me a little relief.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Yes, it is scary and extremely painful! Thankfully not life threatening though! Here is a link with more info on preventing the cramps.

To be honest I have never noticed any side effects when starting HRT. But I was very naive when I first started and apart for a while on tiboline (spelling!) I have only been on three types. Lucky or non observant, not sue which but I was alway busy busy so did not pay close attention. Guess I have been lucky
