In case this was a genuine query, you eat it. Helps to either squeeze the mustard packet in your mouth, then swish it around with some water, or you can mix the mustard with water, then drink the mustard-water.Mustard for leg cramps? like do you eat it or smear it on your leg?
Yeah, the whole, "eat a banana" thing, is supposedly for the potassium. Even if you might be getting muscle cramps due to low potassium levels, a) there are other foods with more potassium, b) it's something that has to be done as a preventative (i.e. consume more potassium rich foods regularly).That's sweet, until today eating a banana was my only cure.

A banana (or any potassium rich food) won't help the muscle cramps you're experiencing right now, because the body won't absorb it immediately, and 1 banana won't appreciably increase your potassium levels.
The mustard/pickle juice/HotShot works within 5-10 minutes (it actually makes the muscle cramps ease up faster than that, in under 60 seconds, but IME, takes about 5-10 minutes before they completely stop).
Yeah, for me it’s only when I’m working on something big that I’ve put off and I go without sleep and food and get all intense and stuff. Eating a banana every day was a prophylactic remedy and in the moment of those night cramps all I could do was howl and punch my calves. I am looking forward to the next time this happens now, so I can show off to my wife by calmly pouring mustard in my mouth like a scientist.

Yep. That's the best way to do it. Prevention is definitely the best cure.I eat a banana for breakfast every morning! I mow an acre yard with a push mower, run and backpack and sweat profusely, no cramps! Staying in shape and pushing yourself to muscle failure helps with cramps as well.
Most times, I could usually tell when muscle cramping was imminent (aside from the times I was awakened from a dead sleep by severe cramps). There's a tension/twinging felt, prior to the onset of the cramps.I occasionally get a heinous middle back spasm. It can be completely debilitating and cause a muscle injury that can take weeks to heal. The trick is to stop it before it gets going in a feedback and once it's really started badly the only thing I can do is take a strong muscle relaxer and a powerful narcotic pain killer with some alcohol (don't judge, it's a potentiator, analgesic and muscle relaxer) and sit in an ergo chair and try to relax. It took many years to figure this out. It works but when it gets to that point my day is totally shot.
I've been experimenting with CBD oil and used it a couple times on some minor back spasms that would probably have gone away on their own with some relaxation techniques and it appeared to work. Today I got hit with the real thing and used the CBD oil and got it under control without having to resort to the powerful pills. It's a sample size of one, but it did prevent the need for getting all doped up and literally saved the day.
Yep. Marathoners/endurance athletes either drink electrolyte replacement drinks (there are better options than Gatorade, but you can also dilute Gatorade), or carry salt tabs.Be sure to keep up your salt intake as well.
