When you’re masturbating in bed*
fuck that when you go over the edge and immediately hello pain
Yea calf cramps are bad but have you ever had chin cramps
Only when I’m with your mom lmao gottem
Well I had no idea that was even possible.
I pray for calf cramps, those are easy to deal with. Chin? Fuck fuck fuck no
Fucking hell FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE THAT GETS THEM! I really thought I was alone as none of my friends ever had it. It get it roughly once a year and yeah it’s worse than calf cramps.
I even managed to get an armpit cramp once. Not so fun either.
Chin cramp gang rise up. U remain the unicorn of the armpit cramp, that sounds agonizing, sorry for ur loss.
Thanks fam, thankfully it was only once (so far) and it wasn’t as bad as calf cramps, just a very awkward spot to get it.
It happens to me at least once a month. I’ll yawn more than once in a row and if I’m not careful they’ll get me.
Once a month? Oh damn, that sucks.
Same. I had one hit me while I was out with a group once and everyone was looking at me like “wtf is wrong with you?”
I’m scared to yawn bro. Oh my god it’s awful.
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.
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
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.
But when it happened to me on the bed I was stretching heel first.
Guess i need to donate my dead body to science after im dead. I never had a cramp in the 38 years of my life. shrugs
Near death experience
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 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.
Could be magnesium deficiency.
Apparently the link between magnesium deficiency and cramps is shaky.
magnesium supplementation compared to placebo for treating idiopathic rest cramps […] Did not significantly reduce cramp frequency
Huh, TIL.
I did try taking magnesium- a few times over the years, but it gives me migraines. Like if I take it I wake up the next morning with a migraine. Which is considerably more painful than a leg cramp. Could look for foods with more of it, though, I guess. Good idea anyway, that is plausible.
Calcium supplement really helps my leg cramps. I also take magnesium with the calcium, but maybe try just the calcium.
It might simply be over-exertion. I get cramps when I walk a lot. Maybe your resting position already includes tension in your calves?
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.
Were your cramps so strong you could not control your muscles anymore? Asking about the pool thing. I have often had leg cramps and I retained full motor control.
I was apout to suggest this, I get leg cramps semi often and this tip is a life saver.
Just stand up. Pain stops as soon as you put weight on the leg.
Calf overpowered me. Now I’m on tippytoes.
For me, that advice is absolutely useless. Now I’m standing, in more pain, that lasts longer.
It’s like if you step on shattered glass shards, the solution to your bleeding foot is to then jump in place. I’m good, thanks.
100%. I tried stretching and massaging before and it kinda worked for me but when I stand on it it immediately stops.
It’s all fun & games until your shin muscles start to cramp as well…
I’ve gotten the Hamstring/quads combo cramp a couple times and falling over, screaming, and not being able to move is an experience.
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.
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
I can’t remember having the cramps in my jaw before, but this year I’ve had them multiple times. Until now they always last only a split second, but it still feels kinda scary to have muscles in your neck/face cramp up.
Who hurt you?
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?
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 with a muscle so taut Richard Simmons would give it a respectable nod from the afterlife.
I get those in my thighs a lot
I came here to comment about how much worse it is in your thigh. Stronger muscles, and you can’t easily stretch it out because of that. I’ve only had that happen a few times and wow is it awful. My sympathies to you.
Yeah its was scary the first couple times. Now just pisses me off because i like to think i keep hydrated and get enough electrolites.
