Drink more water, that's my solution

I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice!

If this happens to you, it's time to check your electrolytes! Cramping can be a sign of low potassium. Most healthy people should be aiming for 2g+ of potassium per day.

Popularly known food sources of potassium (like banana and avocado) aren't super great in a pinch. Coconut water, or beverages like Electrolit / Pedialyte, do a better job. For your regular dietary intake, there are lots of foods better than banana and avocado at getting you the potassium you need.

This post brought to you by the fucking awful leg cramps I used to get when eating a low carb diet.

Glad I’m not the only one. This is always a moment of pure terror

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.

Sackboy ! :D

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.

I've had ones so severe I thought my tendons were going to snap, waking me up in the middle of the night and I'm screaming and doing sympathy whines pleading for mercy. I have genuine fear of the bed time calf and/or foot cramp.

Countering those movements helps me

Near death experience

You likely have a potassium deficit. I had cramps all the time until I took vitamin supplements that contain potassium. No more cramps.

Of course you can also just eat healthier and get potassium that way. Supplements aren't necessarily the solution for you.

I get this all the time. Have your foot angle up towards your head. It'll stop the cramps from happening. Picture standing up and trying to balance on your heels you want that kind of bend at the foot/ankle.

OMG i am not alone and people have tips here,

I am so exited for part 2 of my life.

Yea calf cramps are bad but have you ever had chin cramps

I just had one last week! Ugh just feeling it tighten until my muscles start tearing is the worst... And then I get to explain why I'm limping at work lol

I get those in my thighs a lot

Charlie horses are awful. It was hydration for me. When I drink enough water I don't get them

When I used to get these, the thing that made them stop immediately was standing up. It seems like the last thing you want to do, but standing up and putting all weight on both legs as soon as I felt one coming always did the trick.

FYI if you ever get leg cramp, completely straighten your leg, and flex your feet upwards, towards your shin. This will stretch your leg muscles and stop the pain almost immediately.

Used to happen to me quite a few times, esp. when being a kid doing lot of sports. Once I was afraid I would drown when getting leg cramp in the pool, but this method saved me.
