Ok I posted about this a couple of weeks ago, but the problem seems to have escalated!!!
Woke up at 3am this morning with the worst cramp of my life. It was in my left calf and was so bad that after managing to straighten my leg, my foot was completely stuck with my big toes pointed. The whole muscle was in such bad spasm I was literally stuck, and couldnt pull my toes back to release the cramp like I normally would!
It was absolute agony, and went on for nearly 20 minutes!!!!! Eventually I managed to stand on it and limp to the bathroom (was desperate for a pee!) and it finally let up, but was still so painful :cry:
Managed to limp down to the kitchen and microwave a heat pad to whack on it, which helped a bit, but still painful today
Anyone ANY bright ideas on how I can prevent this? I hate it I take Quinine tablet before bed, sleep with a heat pad on my leg, have plenty of water during the day etc, but I am still getting them sometimes and they are getting worse :jelous:
