Cramp!!!

[daj]

Help!!

what is going on, This week twice with both legs the real big rear muscle from knee to bum has ripped up into the most horrendous cramp , had it in the past but nothing like this ...Proper pain and really hard to stop it :cry: my left is still twinging from it happening thursday night. :cry:

I have changed my diet this week after all the fatty abuse Saturday from the west mid boys , I have had nothing fatty, sweets, chocolate or fizz and cut right back on my food intake? :?

Cheers

I had a similar thing last year but in both calves, I could feel them start cramping so got off the bike sat down relaxed and waited for it to pass, but it just kept cramping and cramping and i was actually rolling round with it, i thought something was gonna explode. the pain was like no other cramp i ever ever had, My legs and them stringy tendons at the back of your kneees was painful for days after. but touch wood, since then have never had another cramp like it, it was like the cramp to end all cramps, mind you i back right off if i even feel the tiniest suggestion of cramp since then.

I had just gotten over a coldy flu thing too and that might have had something to do with it

so have i anything useful to say,lol , erm rest up and they will recover

I get horrendous cramps, so does my dad, and his dad. Like someone stabbing my calf with a screwdriver!! My understanding is that it is linked to hydration and salt levels so be sure to drink plenty of water and dont go mad with salt.

Could be wrong, but it helped mine out a bit so who knows.

I hope it gets better mate!

Sounds like you need to drink more. There is alot of water in food.

Oh and by drink I ment non-alcholic

Drink plenty of water!!!

My dad gets them and they're terrible. You have my sympathy.

The only thing that worked for him was to go to the doctor's and get a prescription for Quinine. Of course, a gin and tonic also contains quinine.
