Yes - muscle cramp!!! I doubt the younger members have too much problem but I sure know that I get some of this at times.

Some days shaving (just the bits around beard!!) - my right bicep cramps - ouch!. Very occasionally shooting PPC, my right hand gets a cramp in the lumbricals - those small muscles between fingers. It can be quite debilitating.

I have no way of knowing whether or not this would occur when I least needed it but - does concern me a bit - seeing as Murphy has a way to transmogrify SNAFU - very quickly into FUBAR! :Biggrin:

I expect I am probably alone in this concern. Am I ?

Shucks KC - you 'sound' way younger!

Thought you were a young varmint (spelled phart!) like me :biggrin: Guess this gives you ''most-senior'' status here!

I must try the tonic - bit of help from quinine perhaps. I try and watch such that I do get some K as well as Na but seems like there is a predisposition now I am aging more.

Washed hair yesterday (just the one - LOL) - and right bicep seized on me with arm used in that way. Sometimes Lat' on one side will have a go too. Calf (gastrocnemius) is a wicked painful one if it really takes hold - sorta rips itself internally! Ouch.

The hand one tho - that gives me most cause for concern, should it occur when i most need a good and controlled gun grip.

buzz - bearings, seals, bushings - yep - I hope tho my big-end bearings hold out a while longer :biggrin:

More I think on this the more I reckon I must take same route - has to be a potassium link (I oughta know, with my old, if rusty, med background!).

I am aware tho that just age itself does seem to predispose toward this problem.
