Re: Leg cramps!

I've never had them while sleeping- I've had them a lot when I'm playing basketball or football...and its usualyl cause you're not hydrated enough...it kills tho.

Re: Leg cramps!

I haven't had any leg cramps. I guess I am lucky. I've had a strained neck from sleeping in a funny position and that really sucks though.

Re: Leg cramps!

I've only had one in my life, and it happened when I was in my bed watching TV. I had never felt so much pain in my life, I was hitting the wall with my fist while I was holding my leg...

Re: Leg cramps!

I tried to walk it off once...I cried with the pain, cried like a baby.

Re: Leg cramps!

A few months ago I had them really bad...I'd wake up and my calf would feel locked up and it was a goofy/painfull experience.

Re: Leg cramps!

Yup, I know what you're talkin about BALLA. I can think of at least 3 instances that I've stretched in bed and bam! Hurts like a mofo.

Re: Leg cramps!

I was working out yesterday, and when I woke up this morning felt a bit stiff in upper back. I went to play ball after school, and about 5min after finishing I was in terrible pain. Everytime I walk it kills, and everytime I try to jump or run it tightens up so bad that I lose my breath. Not first time this has happenned, either...

EVERYONE HAS CRAMPS!<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Nocturnal leg cramps are involuntary muscle contractions that occur in the calves, soles of the feet or other muscles in the body during the night or (less commonly) while resting. The duration of nocturnal leg cramps is highly variable with cramps sometimes only lasting a few seconds and other times several minutes. Soreness in the muscles may remain for some time after the cramp ends. These cramps are more common in older populations but may happen to anyone.The precise cause of these cramps is unclear. Potential contributing factors are believed to include low levels of certain minerals (magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium), dehydration and prolonged sitting. Less common causes include more serious conditions or use of drugs.</div>Figures, the cause isn't known. LOL It's because you're old tony.

Re: Leg cramps!

I don't like leg cramps. One time I got one in my calf muscle when I flexed it to show my friends how strong they were. It totally locked up for like, 15 seconds. One of the worst pains ever.

Re: Leg cramps!

I've gotten them before, never while sleeping though. Only once or twice while playing bball. It was freaky the first time it happened though because I didn't know what it was and my leg felt numb, thought I f*cked up my leg bad but after about 10 mins or so I was good to go.

Re: Leg cramps!

I get them in my foot sometimes when I go swimming...for example, when I go on my tippy-toes. Indeed.

Re: Leg cramps!

I never really got them when I played basketball. I normally get them when I play video games, yeah really random. They are really annoying and hurt

 

[SunnyD]

Re: Leg cramps!

I got it a couple times while sleeping. But it was due to running long distances like Cross Country. That's killer, let me tell you. My coach is awesome, but he works us like dogs. It helps and hurts at the same time. Try to ice it Tony.l

Re: Leg cramps!

Oh yeah, I get them on my "ring" toes. That and my calf when I'm in bed are the most common.

Re: Leg cramps!

Good to see im not the only one. I usually scream and punch my wall a few times.

 

[pjcolpitts?]

Re: Leg cramps!

I've never got them in my sleep or anything like that. I used to get them after a hard basketball or football practice. Not during practice, but right after I cooled down. I guess because my muscles got too cold too fast. If I sat for like 10 minutes after practice, I'd start getting stiff and then the cramps would start hitting my legs. I'd usually get them in the back of my thigh or calf. One of the worst pains ever. I've also got cramps in my foot before, and they hurt really really bad. Not had them in a while though.

Re: Leg cramps!

It was in my left claf and it still is sore.

Re: Leg cramps!

Yeah, they freaking suck. I get them quite a bit. I roll around in pain until it stops. I also get foot cramps every time I go in a pool.

Re: Leg cramps!

The worst one I got was in my calf. I was leaning back in the leather chair at my house and put my feet on the foot rest. I like stretching out, so I lay down like you would in a bed. Then I got a spasam of pain shooting up my calf muscle. I couldn't move it for an hour and had to sleep their for the night.

Re: Leg cramps!

I get them every few months. They hurt so much!Today, my brother, two of his friends and I went to basketball try-outs and after school, we decided to hop a fence because it was a shorter route to one of the guy's house. As soon as I got to the top, my foot cramped! Foot cramps aren't as painful as leg cramps, but they still are painful. I almost fell. Luckily, my brother grabbed my right leg before I toppled over the fence.Obviously, anyone who has ever experienced a leg cramp before hates 'em. I don't know why, but I don't feel much sympathy for people who get them. I remember my friend got a cramp once while we were playing two-on-two basketball in 9th grade PE class. All the PE coaches and a couple of students began concerning themselves to his health. I don't find leg cramps as a big deal. They're painful as hell, but eventually, you get over them. If you were in my place, you'd know how painful they. I always get them... However, I still don't think they're so big of a deal as some people make them out to be.
