CHARLEHORSES!!!!!

I always get them in the lower back of my leg. And this morning I had the worst one I have EVER had and it SUCKED!!!

I probably scared the crap out of Gryphon

. Just laying there and all of a sudden Im turning on my other side and BAM! the pain hits! I jump up and then Gryphon jumps right after. I grab for my leg but cant touch it cuz it hurts so bad and he cant touch it cuz Ill kill him

.

So we are both grabbing my leg and I can hardly breathe cuz of the pain and tears building up

. Must of took me 5 mins to get my breathe under control. Now for rest of the day I try to walk it out but its still tensed up so cant do much today

.

THEY SUCK! Why do they have to hurt so bad?!

You getting enough calcium? Cramps are one symptom of calcium deficiency.

Jode · 03-18-2003, 06:37 AM

ugh those are the worst Stang!!
try drinking lots of water and maybe a banana or something

{shouldn't this be in the bitch pit?}

HAHA I TOLD YOU STANG!

She wouldn't believe that I knew it was a Calcium or Potassium defiencency

I think a Bannana is high in Potassium. But I think Gambit is right, it is Calcium that is needed.

Hehe I was right I was right

XRogue · 03-18-2003, 09:54 AM

Eat a banana shake, that should cover both possibilities.

Maz · 03-18-2003, 10:46 AM

I hate bananas

Stang · 03-18-2003, 10:49 AM

SHUT UP GRYPHON

I was craving bananas the other day too

. Guess Ill have to go get some. Hmmm Banana shake MMmmmmmm.

Just for rubbing it in you have to make me a banana shake

.

I didnt think about it being in the bitch pit until after I posted it but oh well

.

Cravings are a good way to find out what's wrong with you.
Cravings are a way of your body letting you know what it is that it needs right now. So If you're craving bananas, eat them cuz you might be potassium deficient.

I have similar problems... so I crave chocolate and I can't like my chewing-on-plastic habit because of it.

Try eating junkfood constantly for weeks... you'll start craving healthy food... it's kinda fun.

Stang, next time that happens, have Gryph grab your leg (seriously, don't kill him!).

Gryph: when you grab her leg, make it straight and hold it there, then push the toes of the foot that the has the charlie horse in towards her knee. Then slowly rais her leg off the ground (if she's lying on her back), while keeping her other leg on the ground. Bring it up about 6 or 8 inches off the ground and, while keeping it straight, swing it away from the charlie horse. This will stretch the muscle out, and keep the leg from being stiff and sore for the rest of the day.

Then make sure that Stang eats a banana (or drinks a glass of orange juice, which actually has more potassium than a banana), and gets some calcium. I like to get the minutemaid orange juice that has added calcium. Then make sure she drinks one equal-sized glass of water for how much orange juice she drinks, or how many bananas she eats. (If she gets a calcium source, make sure she eats a banana with it.)

And if you eat foods high in sodium, your body won't be able to absorb the calcium and potassium that it needs. Especially the potassium. The sodium will also cause your body's cells to become dehydrated, as your cells secrete water into your blood to balance the high sodium.

The cramps will never happen again.

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 03-18-2003, 02:35 PM

Oh and it's a deficiency in any of: calcium, potassium, sodium, or water that can cause cramps. Drink plenty of water, and eat your bananas and oranges, and drink milk or something with calcium!

When you notice it, Stang, try to arch your toes backwards (Like Asha said)... It helps get things under control faster.

Stang · 03-18-2003, 03:33 PM

I love milk and drink it all the time, Mmm milk

. I use to like Minute Maid but hate it now, dont know if they did something to it.

Ill scream my head off at him

and dont want him to touch it at all. He tried to touch it last night and I screamed cuz I knew it was going to hurt cuz earlier I tried to touch it and it hurt. I havent had one in a long time either and when it did come it hit hard

. I have tried moving my toes but they get very stiff and makes it hurt even more.

Does annemic have anything to do with it? I was annemic a few months ago but got back up to a good level.

Thats for the advice Asha Ill try it

. Not sure about Gryphon touching me though unless you want to see a red mark on his face

.
