Night time leg cramps

[The Wildcard]

Did anybody ever have a leg cramp, at the calf muscle during the middle of your sleep?

YES and MY GOD they hurt don't they? People always told me to eat more bananas, which I did, and when the pain comes, to put your foot on the floor. I cannot tell you how much that hurts but it also worked. Bananas are full of potassium and often leg cramps are indicative of not enough. Just eat a Naner!

Pretty bad stuff. Ever get a hamstring cramp???? MUCH WORSE!!!!!!

MAN! Those things hurt like hell!

Remind me never to develop one of those again... ouch!

Gotta love Charley Horses.
You usually get them during a growth spurt... or if you forget to stretch correctly before & after a workout.

I had one last night actually. Hurt like a MF. I woke up screaming like a little bitch. Good thing I'm in the basement, where no one can hear.

Often caused by low sodium, low potassium or low calcium. Take your vitamins, or keep up on vegetables.

OMG! I thought I was the only one with this problem My cramps finally went away for whatever reason unknown.
