The comments under this post are proof that Lemmings have shit diets without proper electrolytes.

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

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?

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

I eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg, don't smoke, drink moderately (1 drink 3 days a week) work out regularly and still get these. The worst is in yoga, when my feet cramp and I can't do something. Calves in bed close second.

I thought it was from drinking or fasting but there seems no correlation. Age, maybe.

I like the feeling of having cramps. Sometimes I'll deliberately over strain my leg muscles to induce cramps in my calf and feet. Idk it hurts but not in a I want this to stop way. I find it fun stretching them out when I get them. The only ones I don't usually like are ones in my neck from yawning because it's weird to have my face contacted

That use to happen to me a lot, but I haven't felt that pain in a long time. I started doing yoga regularly which helps, but even without doing yoga, a lesson I learned from yoga prevents that situation in other cases. It's about balance, so when you stretch your feet down, don't stretch your feet down toe first, there is no balance there, stretch your legs down heel first, that way the back muscle is being pulled down and the front muscle is being pulled up with your toe, the two counteract each other and you will not get this cramping.

Seek balance in all things friends, including your muscles while you stretch.

When you're masturbating in bed*

fuck that when you go over the edge and immediately hello pain

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 a muscle so taught Richard Simmons would give it a respectable nod from the afterlife.

If this happens, push the ball of your feet up. The ball of you feet is the front of your foot connected to the toes, helped me many times.

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.
