rub it; as a part-time personal trainer & former college athlete, trust me when I say I've dealt with quite a few muscle cramps! it also helps if you use something like Tiger Balm that heats the area and helps reduce the pain.

Having my ankle reset after breaking it skydiving! It was completely broken and facing 180 degrees backwards, (looked funny as hell!).\nLying face down on a gurney, the doctor was down at my feet and then pulled and twisted my ankle in an attempt to align it back up for temporary casting until I could be driven 60 miles away to a hospital that my insurance would cover!! He had to do this (3) times before getting it right...OOOWWWWW!!!!

Calcium magnesium zinc pills 3 times a day with meals often work wonders for cramp problems. The potassium is very helpful too. There are a lot of good herbal products you can take for leg veins and circulation. Check out your local health food store for products.\nGood luck. Hope this helps.

I am not an expert but when my foot hurt like that it turned black and I had to wear a cast on my leg for 6-8 weeks. It turned out I had not only pulled one tendon but I had also tore one or two tendons on top of that. This happened a year ago when I was in the sixth grade. If it continues to hurt I would consult a physician. I hope your foot gets better and notify me to tell me what is actually wrong with it. It could be what happened to my foot but there are some other possibilities. Again hope you get better!!!

If you are lucky you'll pass it if not and you get cramps, pain or fever  go to ER.  I'd call the ER and ask. They've seen it all. Good luck.

Try eating a banana. These are good for muscle cramps. They are high in potassium.

Maybe it's intestinal related? I'm sure most of us have probably experienced that kind of cramping from time to time.

Go to the hospital!!! My friend did a similar thing with her ankle, and it wasn't pretty. The hospital did a good job so I recommend thats where you go and what you do!!!

That's called a charley horse.  Oh and they hurt.  Its sometimes. the way you dream or move in your sleep.  I get them when i sleep in certain positions or I've done alot of walking and exercising the day before and forgot to stress. \n\nThe best thing to do is when you wake up and you get that is to relax don't panic. Just lay there until the pain goes away.  Then get up.  Go take a hot bath or a shower it will break up the muscle and then do some stretching in the legs to help the calf.\n\nMuscle contraction causing a "charley horse"\nA muscle cramp is a sudden, uncontrolled contraction of a muscle. This type of pain is most commonly experienced in the legs, and therefore often called a leg cramp or a "charley horse." \nLeg cramps occur when the muscle suddenly and forcefully contracts. The most common muscles to contract in this manner are muscles that cross two joints. These muscles include the calf (crossing the ankle and knee), the hamstring (crossing the knee and hip), and the quadriceps (also crossing the knee and hip). \n\nLeg cramps usually last less than one minute, but may last several minutes before the contraction subsides. In some patients, the leg cramps occur primarily at night, and can awaken the patient from sleep.

Here is what my doctor told me about leg cramps. I also apply Aspercreme to my legs at night when I am being bothered and it helps. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/night-leg-cramps/AN00499
