when this happens, stretch your leg out in front of you and use the palm of your hand to pull the top of your foot toward your body. it helps ease the cramp. i deal with these too damn much and is the only way to stop them fast
My friend, up your magnesium!
This is the way! I take soem daily and it's the only thing that's reliably controlled my cramping, helps me sleep better as well
it is at least partially hereditary, but i will look into it! my mom couldnt swim without wearing tennis shoes because her legs would seize up.
Oooh. Damn. I've heard of a more serious version, that has a name, but I can't remember it. Hopefully you haven't inherited something serious. I have terrible cramping issues, I wish I had known how much magnesium helps, it's essentially the conduit to which the electrical signals controlling your muscles ride around on. I have found magnesium glycenate to work best for me, there's heaps of varieties. I hope you find one that helps, crossing my fingers for you!
