Nocturnal Leg Cramps

Nocturnal leg cramps are pains that occur in the legs during the night. Forcefully stretching the affected muscle is usually the most effective way to relieve the cramp (flex your foot upward).

Don't talk to me about pain until you feel a leg cramp while you're asleep

“Nocturnal legs cramps are quite painful”, the understatement of the century.

[Onra]

I feel like I just got shot in the leg, this has happened to me 3 times before, the worst part is how you know the pain will start coming and eventually build up.

[MythicalLoser]

The pain is so hard you can't even scream

[sharronnn]

I cry every time this happens and scream on top of my lungs 7% my ass

[xenobestx]

Who’s here cause they just got a cramp?

[Pullakahvit]

The best feeling is when your leg has been cramping, you're almost crying and then it stops

This is by far the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. I found that this only happens to me on the days when I sit cross legged for a long time without switching my legs.

I had calf cramps at 3 am in the morning. It hurts like hell. I’m 29 years old

I woke up last night with these for the first time and Oh My Gosh. I was biting my shirt trying to stop my screams cause it was midnight. And now, 9 hours later, I am still limping. I have never felt pain like that and never want to again

I’m pretty young lol and I was a bit confused when I started getting random painful leg cramps during the night. This helped me a lot to understand that I’m not crazy and it’s a real thing. These things can really hurt sometimes. I rolled out of bed this morning cause it was really bad.

Great, this can be caused by absolutely anything. This sure eased my mind 👍

[kdrippydrops]

i wouldnt act like her lmao i would put my leg straight up and heavy breathe lmaoo

[llalyll]

I can’t even move when I’m getting a cramp I have to stay still and try to relax but also screaming in agony

[sneakylittleprincess]

This used to happen to me almost every night back when I was a teenager, I'd wake up with excruciating pain, it was the worst. But then I found out it was because I used to sit for long periods in class without moving my legs.

[jaydev]

damn im a 13 year old boy and i got this at 11am

I feel like the shock of it happening while you’re sleeping makes it hurt more, I can deal with a cramp while I’m awake cause I can feel it coming in
