"Rehydration sounds like it's called for. You have my sympathy, it's truly horrific, when you get it so badly. . Have you done any slow warmups and gentle stretching? I try to get to stretch promptly, when it starts - but when it grabs you in the middle of the night, I understand why you're not jumping out of bed. " I actually do jump out of bed as it helps the cramp go faster, when the foot of the affected leg touches the floor. It's probably the angles. | |||

" It’s definitely the stretching of the offending muscle that can drive it away. I get 30 plus a week in just about any muscle of my right leg. I’m getting very good at telling when they are just starting and react very quickly to stretch the muscle. If it’s calf muscle cramp you need to push your heel down and pull toe end of foot up, elongating the calf muscle. Hamstring ones are absolute killers, you’ve got to get your knee locked out as fast as possible. | |||

"The above are symptoms of a possible DVT." No it's not a DVT. Plain and simple cramp. When I was an ultra and marathon runner it was semi regular if I'd over done it whilst dehydrated. I have electrolytes on hand in the form of high 5 zero tablets. I used to use NUUN tablets. As I said at the start yesterday I was doing work which involved me climbing up and down a scaffold tower many times during the day anyone who regularly climbs ladders will testify the strain it puts on the calf's. I didn't drink nearly enough water all day. Plus I have a herniated disc in my back so I'm always a bit lop sided which puts additional strain on the glutes, hammy's and calf. It's still extremely sore. 15 year's ago I was training for my first ironman and stupidly decided to drink a red bull a couple of days beforehand and ended up with this result was an extremely tight,sore calf come race day. | |||
