LEG CRAMPS!!!

[Schadenfreude]

I could google it, sure, but it'd be too simple and too easy.

This is for you home doctors on ATOT - what causes leg cramps,

And how can I stop it?

I have one BIG, BIG cramp on my left leg right now - I can't even sit right now! It happened right as I was sitting down five minutes ago, and I tucked said left leg under my butt . . ..

And mind you, I work out like a maniac (esp. my legs), so when my leg cramps, it hurts like god-knowswhat.

lactic acid build up?

Well a warm bath would be a good start.

Quicker would be to pop a couple of Advil, it is a good anti-inflammatory.

Usually a sign of low potassium. Eat more bananas

Will do!

I thought it was a sign of dehydration? Drank some water and it got fine?

Perhaps - usually it's just old age.

Dehydration will most definitely cause leg cramps. (Headaches, too.)
