Every couple of months this loving happens without fail. I'll be sleeping normally and then out of loving nowhere it feels like a million god drat knives are being stabbed into my leg and it'll go super tense. I try to bend it to alleviate the pain but it just feels like my muscles are gonna loving snap. Anybody else get this poo poo and know the cure or am I just gonna die of super cancer or some poo poo?

You're probably getting dehydrated in your sleep. Drink more fluids.

How many cups of sugar and butter do you use in your banana bread ? I usually go for a 1,1,1 cup ratio of sugar, butter and chocolate chips.

Is it cramping or is it some other thing? I always get cramps when the season changes but that doesn't necessarily sound like a cramp.

I haven't had cramps since I was a kid, I would say it probably actually is that but idk.

It literally feels like my muscle tendons are gonna loving snap. Dehydration is almost certainly a factor.

But seriously I went through a spell a year or so ago where I would suddenly wake up to a massive incoming Charlie horse. To deal with it in the moment I found that stretching my leg out straight and not letting my knee bend kept my calves from cramping, even though it hurt like hell for a few minutes until it passed. Long term I started drinking a lot more water and the problem went away within a week or two.

it's muscle cramps and they suck and you're probably dehydrated like everybody else said already

the way to stop it quickly is that you need to stretch that muscle immediately yes even when it feels like it's turning into stone and on fire at the same time. i get this in my calves from time to time so i need to pivot my foot up for that; sometimes it will stop it immediately :hellyeah:, sometimes i'll have to grab my dang foot and pull it back manually if my leg's already cramping up fierce


try that and if it doesn't help maybe check if someone is actually stabbing your legs while you're sleeping, seems like an easy check

Yes, probably a deep vein thrombo going on a little journey to your heart to kill you. You should definitely read up some WebMD.

For me just stretching never works, I usually wake up in a panic and have to stand up and put all my weight on my leg.

The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

if you are sleeping with someone have them firmly apply pressure/massage the arch of your foot. helps me and my wife when this happens to us.

edit: we both basically only drink water and a lot of it. cramps can still happen occasionally even if you properly hydrate.

It could be. Do the muscles look like they're "caving in" in the middle?

Start eating magnesium supplements. They eliminated all muscle cramps including the leg bullshit while sleeping for me.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
I get this when doing a lot of exercise that hits the calves. Running, cycling, or weightlifting.
