Usually got them in the gastroc / soleus and they hurt like a monkey.
For those, if you can, put your bare foot on a cold floor (tile, concrete, etc). That seems to help immensely.
(I have the creators of “As Time Goes By” to thank for that little piece of advice).

Having cramps is often a sign of a lack of magnesium in the body.

I usually get cramp in the back of my right thigh during the night (really painful),i usually take a bottle of tonic water to bed that usually does the trick.

sometimes when i stretch my back gets cramped but mostly i usualy suffer from painfuly stiff muscles the day after training or playing hockey.
cramp can sometimes be caused by a lack of salt but i’m not a doctor so don’t start trying to kill ureselves by chucking it on ure food! ;)

@paul - i get the same thing.... but it doesnt happen toooo often now. but when it does... aaaargh! i just wanna scream! and i cant walk on it after!

Apparently it’s due to dehydration, hence why it happens usually at night... or something lol!
I get it terrible if I don’t drink at least two to three glasses of water during the night, come morning I have to literally jump out of bed as I have cramp in my calf...
I also get it in my head... now that damn hurts. :(

@ally77
is it cramps or something like your arm goes to sleep???? I lie on my arm at night too and in the morning before I open my eyes widely I don’t know where it is! One time it fell on my face!!!

I really really hate it!! Used to get it in my legs when I was asleep. It was so painful I had to get out of bed and hope round. Used to really hurt. Haven’t had it for a while now though
