Night cramps

[Man of Harveys]

What the HELL is going on with my leg? For once I get a decent night's kip and I wake up screaming in pain for the 3-4th time in the past few months. I get a terrible cramp in my right calf which with a bit of frantic nocturnal rubbing (relax ladies) soon goes away, although it still aches a bit during the course of the day. Any advice short of amputation most welcome.

Shove it up yer arse.

Eat plenty of salt.

I have had the same thing, although I thought eating too much salt is what did it. Nasty isn't it? only way to get rid of it is to stand up and walk around. Haven't had it for ages though.

What an incredibly unhelpful reply that was.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'd visit a severer. That have syringes, plugs, scythes, cloths, cheese-gags and answers.



Go to a physio or a lower case masseur. Just got to understand the damage and know which doughnut to never once again devour.

not enough water in your diet, i usually get it after being on the beers for a few days.

i had this dis-comfort after drinking all day and having a few whiskeys and Iron Brew at home....

That makes sense...ie nop water in the body!

Bloddy frustrating it was too!!!

It's alcohol deficiency. I suggest you start rectifying the situation at the Stamford Arms tomorrow, or a certain other venue tonight.

The Doc says - you don't drink enough in the course of the day. More water, without the yeast and hops.

Either that or you have a thrombosis and your leg needs amputating.

Cramp is usually caused by dehydration so drink more water. But should you get cramp, you're best stretching your calf muscle (try and point your toes towards your head) rather than rubbing the muscle. Works quicker and normally prevents the continuous ache.

I had it too, its well painful

 

[pishhead]

I remember after a particular heavy session I stretched in my bed and that was it i seized up I had cramp in both legs in the arches of my feet, calfs and both hamstrings, I can safely say after breaking bones and doing my cruciate that the cramp was more painful than either of them.

It's always pretty much in the same place. Thrombosis, with chainsaw it is then.

Please thank the frankly gorgeous Doctrus Maximus from me - when are YOU and her coming over to drink more OUSEWATER?

And if it does need sawing off, I'd like your missus to do it.

That is excellent advice - I just did that and it hurt less, thanks. I'm walking slightly better as a result, i.e. slightly less like a haemerroidal Douglas Bader.

 

[Gluteus Maximus]

She'd rather saw it off than PULL IT OFF, that would take far too LONG for a SHORT leg.

Should be over in Nov. - going to Berlin first for a couple of days...

I have this - particularly after drinking.

It is something to do with too much acid in the muscle or something like that.

Are you pregnant?

Drink more water , sprinkle more salt on your chips. Cramp is natures way of telling you a bit of pain is good for you.

 

[Trufflehound]

Could also be due to bruising caused by walking into chairs and tables when pissed. I get that a lot.

Tell-tale signs are usually finding yellow and purple blotches on your legs in the morning.
