One hour ago when I was getting out of bed, my right leg suddenly had cramps. Ugh. The last time I remember to experienced this was when I was pregnant. Good thing hubby was there to stretch it out. It still hurts though.

Ugh, I hate having muscle cramps. It usually happens to me in bed, if I stretch my leg out too far. I am really careful not to do that now...Cramps can really be very painful.

Dehydration is one cause When you get cramps you just need to walk

@rakski Then it could be lack of some electrolyte - Magnesium?

Cramps are so painful. My dad had them all the time, mainly in his hands, but also in his legs. He does his best to stay hydrated, and takes magnesium, but he still has them.

Sometimes the muscle cramps can be a sign of lacking of calcium. Sometimes it happens because the weather change and the temperature gets cool suddenly. When my leg had cramps, I also asked my husband to help me.

It can be excruciating and it will last for a while. I think none is spared from that.

I get those muscle craps in my legs sometimes so bad. You can't move...the pain is horrible. I had one last week that left my left calf(lower leg) with a huge knot and it was sore for two days. I think it was one of the worst ones I ever had, and if I never do that again, it will be fine. I am sorry you have them, I know they are miserable.

@MarieCoyle true. I have a high pain tolerance but the fact that you can't move the leg is so frustrating

You need to get hydrated more often. In other words, have more water. I too had this issue earlier. It was always painful with cramps. You want to jump up but the pain does not often allow you to be free. But once I increased my drinking , all of those ceased to exist! Did read somewhere as well it is due to dehydration as well . You do not have to drastically increase your drinking of water to 5 litres and all! Just drink normal 2-3 litres everyday and in case you drink that amount increase upto by 1litre and see. Hope now things are better and it was a good thing your husband was around .You got a good weekend to relax and well have a good restful time.
