really sucks? Getting a cramp in my oh-so-sexy calves. It is the worst pain, ever. It should be harnessed as a means of torture.

I doubt it's the worst pain ever...how did that happen anyway?

I was snowboarding all day, and then I rode a bus home for two hours. Had some dinner, did some things, and then sat down to enjoy some quality programing for a few lazy hours. I had my legs up on the ottoman, and after a while I flexed my leg for some unknown reason, and then it seized up and absolutely killed for the rest of the night. It's crippling.

I get cramps like that all the time in my feet, but never in my calves or anywhere else. Usually only lasts a couple minutes, too.

Iv never experienced cramp, some of my friends always complain about it. But i dont care.

My friend used to get this. He told me stories about waking up in the middle of the night sitting in his bed litteraly screaming with pain.

Yeah me too...those things can really heart. I also sometimes get a massive cramp in my left rib where I have to just crunch up like a ball (like a fetal position) and just brace myself and hope its over soon. I used to get these alot more when I was younger and though I get them less now they seem to hurt more then I remember. I compare it to triple a foot cramp and double in duration.

-Not sure about you guys but my foot cramps are usually very short and only last from 5-10 seconds or until I shake and massage my foot a certain way-

MESS isn't a cramp in your calf called a Charlie Horse?

I thought that a charlie-horse was a cramp on the outside of your thigh. I learnt that from Operation (BZZZ!!). Somebody please look this up!

I only get muscle cramps when I don't exercise for like 2-3 months.

During my late teens, I would occasionally get a pain from beneath one of my left ribs, which would last for about 5 minutes. It was literally crippling. That stopped when I started eating better (vegetarian), and after I did a system flush using Golden Seal or something like that.

go to a herbal store and get some - Potassium & Magnesium tablets (If I remember correctly), When your body is lacking one of these two things it allows the lactic acid to bulid up and give you a bad cramp. If I ever over excercised at the gym It would happen to me.

I have also suffered from a calf cramp in the middle of the night, for me the best thing to do is stretch out slowly as soon as it happens (so straighten your leg out if you get it again) and it seems to go quicker but it'll still feel tight the rest of the night still.

Im not an expert but it worked for me, hope it helps????????

Yeah, I looked it up on Wikipedia. The 'medical' term for it is a cramp on the outside of your thigh, but it also says it's applied to any number of cramps in the leg. The way I learned it growing up was a cramp in your calf. That's the first time I've ever heard it applied to a thigh cramp.

I always thought a "Charlie Horse" was a punch to the leg which momentarily numbed it. I feel so dumb.

Yep, another funny quote caught



Cramps hurt like hell, but me and my ultimate powers of exercise has taught me how to pull out of them before I can barely walk

No. They're basically crippling to my feet, I can't move them at all or else horrible pain shoots everywhere. I get them most often when I swim around in pools or lakes or whatever, but other times as well. As someone else said, I just stop everything and massage my foot and stay still for a minute or two and it usually goes away. They suck, I hate them.
