Calling all doctors of the caf

iSparky · 5th March 2012, 14:45

I have a situation, last night I was relaxing at home and all of a sudden I started getting cramps in both legs. It's not agonisingly bad but pretty uncomfortable, I had hardly any sleep last night and im still having cramps today. The fudge is all this about? I recently changed my diet and started exercising more but have not experienced cramping as such until now.

Surely it's not meant to last 24 hours, any tips to get rid of it apart from amputating my legs? It's not leg aids either as I have this already...

Possibly magnesium shortage in your system.

you're evolving iSparky. Soon you'll be able to leap 500 yards.

Duffy · 5th March 2012, 14:53

May just be your muscle's growing from the exercise. Stick some deep heat on them and carry on regardless!

Levo · 5th March 2012, 14:54

Could be a delayed reaction to exercise.

Persian-Fred · 5th March 2012, 14:56

Leg aids. RIP.

iSparky · 5th March 2012, 14:59

Shit this is uncomfortable, and ned see the end of the OP, so just a bit of deep heat and crack on then? Sounds like a plan I like the smell of deep heat

I'm not going to lie, I barely read the OP

As people said, it may be because you exercised particularly hard yesterday. I can't comment on whether it can be something more serious, but I've had the same from lots of exercise. Stretch the muscles out a lot and chuck on some deep freeze/heat. I hope it gets better soon mate, cramps are bloody painful.

Aye it's a pain alright, what caught me by surprise was that I kind of took it easy a bit yesterday as I was not 100% up to it so i was shocked to find myself wishing my legs would just fall off!

Go out and by some magnesium supplement, a drop of magnesium in your diet and exercise can be too much to your nervious system to handle.

If the supplement helps try to eat more food high on Mg, Spinach, Tomatoes, Beans, nuts, milk and artichokes are great. There's a lot of magnesium in flours too, but I guess those dont agree with your diet much.

Cheers mate, will do this too.

Eat a banana. I know how you like putting long, hard things in your mouth so go on, indulge.

iSparky · 5th March 2012, 17:46

Fuck doc I put too much deep heat on, got a bit carried away. Now my legs feel like they are on fire

No, just exercise the muscle a little and you'll be fine...lay off the deep heat though in this instance!

There is nothing to worry about Sparky. This is natural when standing in queue for 96 hours. Only 2 more days. Then it will be all ok.

But really, cramps are extremely painful. You could try some of these and check.

- drink lots of water
- food with calcium/magnesium/potassium/vitamin B (bananas as Doc suggested)
- take a hot bath before sleeping
- when cramps happen massage the area along the direction of the muscles

Rams · 5th March 2012, 18:10

Could be worms you know

Duffy you legend that deep heat has worked a treat, feeling 10 times better already and only put it on a while ago, initially I put too much on and my legs felt like they were melting but now I feel so much better!

Good stuff! As I said always works for me, plus it smells sexy too!

My jaw really hurts to the point that I can't open it fully, I can't chew without being in pain and I can't yawn properly. Often it "cracks" like when you crack your knuckles when I open it.

It's been like this for two weeks. My wisdom teeth are coming through but up until now it hasn't been a problem.

Doctor or Dentist? Chances of needing surgery?

Colin129 · 4th May 2012, 12:17

Have you been punched in the face recently?

Did you pass out from excessively drinking & wake up in a gutter?

Burrow · 4th May 2012, 12:18

Oh, how I would like to make a joke about that one.

rcoobc · 4th May 2012, 12:19

No, not for a few years.
