-- Posted by sabz at 12:54 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Well, on my legs, and on the back sides of my calves have been getting these HORRIBLE cramps. Only when I go to bed, but it's almost every night. I'm a pretty active girl and I run a lot, and partake in sports. Why do you think I'm getting these cramps and how do I make them stop? -- Posted by draino at 12:54 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 drink more water -- Posted by yoshiness at 12:54 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Don't sleep with your legs bent. That's the main cause usually. -- Posted by misscharity at 12:55 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Maybe your not stretching before being active in sports and stuff. And maybe stretch before bed or something. -- Posted by AcidSilence at 12:55 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 man i had these for like a week straight they were kinda like charley horses. -- Posted by sabz at 12:56 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Yeah. They're horrible. They last anywhere from a minute to five, and they hurt like no other. My mom told me to eat more bananas. :/ -- Posted by Fondziie at 12:59 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 youre muscles are acting up -- Posted by luv4you at 1:07 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 You need to stretch more and drink more water. See a doctor if it lasts... You could have restless leg syndrome. I have something similar to that. I have to take muscle relaxants before I go to bed. -- Posted by kingduffy at 1:11 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 its cause your working your legs out to much! i get them too
