Get a tennis ball and roll it out.

similar thing happened to me the other day. i woke up in the middle of the night feeling like my entire thigh was tied in a fucking knot. light activity and foam rolling every few hours really helped for me, although rolling it hurts like a bitch at first.

You have leg cancer, be grateful that you didn't have twisted balls while on a bike.

Out of curiosity, were you dehydrated?

Potasium in general prevent this. Eat your bananas anon.

i don't think so; why?

>>39805582
yeah this has happened to me in the middle of the night once before. same calf. pain so horrible it woke me up

>>39805595
maybe. it was weird i was fine pumping slowly up this big hill, stop for a few seconds on a red light, then literally just lifting my leg and it completely seizes up

>>39805597
i eat a banana in my shake every day bro

>>39805563
need more potassium.

>>39805563
does it feel like it's stretching when you do like normal movements? sounds like a calf strain

Your calves are tight OP. Need to stretch properly before working them and also make sure you train them at the gym. It's a sign saying yours are too small

I used get the craziest toe cramps were my toe would try and stretch away from each other

Drink water and eat some avocados or bananas.

>that feel when a hotel california guitar solo version of a calf cramp is beginning

>that feel when you feel the shift and there's like a 3 second pause that feels like an eternity where you know there's about to be a wave of splitting pain after this weird little interval of time

I wish it would just start honestly, those 3 seconds are insanity

>>39805582
I've gotten this with my calves, will wake up and know what's wrong before the pain even hits me. Sometimes it hurts so bad I'll start yelling. Usually stays tight and painful the rest of the day. I've been drinking more water, but I'm not sure if dehydration is the cause

dynamic stretches, hydration, potassium

Don't know if you boys know this but the best way to relieve these calf cramps is to pull your toes towards you while stretching out your leg.

>>39805563
Take a hot bath nigguh, take your time rubbing your calf vigorously.

Bananas don't have much potassium. Try Hydralite / ORS salts anon. And limit your sodium.

Drinking more water won't help this at all. You need electrolytes nigguh, potassium and maybe some magnesium.
