Cramping is usually due to a combination of two different factors. One is dehydration but not with only water but also electrolytes. If you are considered a super sweater, meaning that you have rings of sweat around your clothes after you run, then you have to hydrate even more than regular people. The other reason is because of low magnesium. Be sure to properly hydrate and alternate something with electrolytes like Gatorade or Powerade. And then also take a liposomal form of magnesium that Has a better absorption rate.Proper stretching of the calfs, and plantar fasciitis is also very important. Changing your shoes every 500 miles as well.

The swelling is usually a sign there is damage in the knee. Usually, either a meniscal tear or (early) arthritis. Consider getting your hips evaluated (osteopathic doc) to make sure you aren’t uneven, causing an uneven wear pattern. If you are adamant about taking an anti-inflammatory, naproxen is better than ibuprofen, but I personally prefer turmeric or curcumin, the ultimate natural & safe anti-inflammatory.
