I hate these. Pointing my toes as far up/back as possible (stretching the calf) usually causes them to stop for me.

Me: Salty banana eating hydro homie still in fear of stretching too much in bed which will cause the calf or foot cramp.

Foot cramps are worse. Calf cramp pain lasts for days.

The bending or stretching doesn't work if you don't get to it fast enough. There's only so much bending with a muscle so taut Richard Simmons would give it a respectable nod from the afterlife.

Since I stopped alcohol and smoking I haven’t had a single cramp. It’s only weed nowadays

I used to have all sorts of pains, vertigos and morning numbness when I was heavily drinking twice a week and smoking. It’s such a poison

Or when you twist or stretch too suddenly and feel a little something go snap in your lower back, that's when you know yer gonna be using Advil for at least a couple of days.

Ate shit on an ebike a lil under 30.

The Charlie's horse the night after was fucking BRUTAL!

Wear a helmet lol.

Most of the time, leg crams are intentional. Not really worried about the few that are unintentional as long as they go away on their own or can be walked out.

Countering those movements helps me

Used to get these like crazy. It can be from certain physical activities, poor diet, dehydration etc. My advice would be drink plenty of water, eat Potassium rich foods (bananas, sweet potatoes) and consider magnesium, either by oral suplement or topical (Epsom salts in bath or a product like theraworx directly applied to calf muscles).

My leg cramps completely stopped after I started using the topical magnesium stuff applied every few days.

Guess i need to donate my dead body to science after im dead. I never had a cramp in the 38 years of my life. shrugs

I don't get those. Is it like a genetic thing or has bro not eaten a banana and also something with some magnesium in it for over 3 months?
