Another victim...

I woke up at 4am with a horrid leg cramp!!  DH practically jumped out of bed, like it was time to go to the hospital or something ;)  Luckily, having played sports his whole life and being a PE teacher, he knew just what to do.  As soon as it was gone I told him, "I don't think I've ever loved you as much as I do right now!"  He just laughed and told me to eat a banana. 

I haven't had one of those since I was a kid.  I hope this isn't an indication of things to come...

    Ugh, those things suck. I had a charlie horse about 3 weeks ago but none since... hopefully you get the same luck.

    I have been eating atleast 1 banana a day to try to ward off the charlie horses, I was getting 1 or 7 every other night. So far it has been helping. I feel your pain. GL

    My recommendation, don't stretch and point your toes.  If you keep your feet flat when you stretch that helps.  I have that problem and everytime I point and try to stretch I get a cramp.  BOO!

    I've been fortunate in that so far I've been able to catch it before it's a full on cramp.  I'll be readjusting in bed and stretch my leg just so and can feel one coming on so I stop stretching and usually that works. 

    Not fun at all.

    lol at your DH b/c when I was pregnant w/ DS I was close to the end and had a horrible CH.  I started saying "ow, ow, ow" and DH woke up and frantically started to get dressed b/c he thought my water broke! lol  Once the CH was gone I never laughed so hard! lol

    Ugh, I had a charlie horse two mornings ago... And my calf still hurts/is tight! I've tried increasing my water and milk intake, and took my vitamins, so we'll see. Hopefully I'll be able to get bananas sometime soon, too.

    Those pains are horrible!! It feels like it will never stop, DH use to get them a lot when he was training hard. It would scare the crap out of me b/c he would just start screaming in the middle of the night, I would massage his legs until it stopped and then go get a banana for him. I hate muscle cramps!

    Bless your DH!!!  I've been getting them all the time and unfortunately for me, I hate bananas!!!!  Hopefully you can avoid them in the future and it isn't hurting you too bad today!

    I woke up with a horrible one too. DH had just left for work and the pain was horrible. I tried getting out of bed to maybe walk off the pain and almost fell when I put weight on that leg. It is still sore now, 7 hours later.
