Had a calf cramp that woke me up a couple night ago in sheer terror. I probably looked like Bruce Lee trying to work that thing out

They both suck, but I’ve never had arch cramps that stayed sore for 2 days afterward.

Foot cramp is the devil. Calf cramp can easily be alleviated by flexing the foot. Used to get both all the time.

The area around the ankle and moving up a couple of inches toward the shin sucks too. Have to rub that shite with a fury.

A calf cramp hurts like a mofo, but nothing like a cramp in your bowels. That shite will double you over.

This happens to me no less then 4 times a week. It will put tears in a grown man. Reason, I take a shite load of Lasix along with a shite load of potassium and magnesium. Then I have to do blood work once a week.

Calf cramps can wake me from a near death sleep. Hurt like hell.

Yep. In my case, it starts all the way down to my ankles all the way up to my hips. I get them sometimes in both legs at the same time.

The only thing that helps most of the time is to drink a few oz of vinegar.

Worse than arch of foot is the back of your ankle. Feels like your foot is ripping itself off

None of them?

You guys don't know a cramp until you yawned too much and get a cramp on the muscle directly under your chin. Didn't know such a cramp existed but I've had it happen 2 times to me before.


However my most recent cramp I woke up from sleep and had the worst cramp ever in my calf and would not go away.

Hamstring or calf has caused me to scream at night a few times.


I once had a calf cramp while I was asleep and dreaming and I could feel the awful pain, but couldn't comprehend what was going on. I finally woke up out of the dream and it took me about 10 seconds to realize what the hell was happening before I started beating my leg against the bed like a mental patient. Quickly I realized that massaging it worked better. Awful experience.

This.

While in the air.

It’s like what waking up as a Rice fan every morning must feel like-

If I’m barefoot I can work out a foot cramp quickly with my hands, but if you have stiffer dress shoes on at work, they’re deadly. Can’t do a thing about it.




You could take your shoe off.

It does. Try standing when that happens. That is not going to happen. Every time when it happens, I have to wake the wife up to get me some vinegar. She knows the drill.
