It hurt like a mother,I was crying like a pathetic baby and I couldn't even move it or it would start to hurt even worse. I'm talking I was in a DEEP sleep, and it woke me up with no warning.I guess it kind of sounds like it was a Charley Horse, but this is the third time it has happened to me in the past 10 years or so. The first time, the doctor sent me to the ER because my leg was turning blue and he was worried it could be a blood clot. Keep in mind, I am only 33 (younger then) and VERY active and don't smoke. It wasn't a blood clot, but I was on crutches for a few days after. Now,after last night's episode, it still hurts just a little, I put some heat on it and massaged it and took some Advil.It almost feels like a pulled muscle. I always stay hydrated, and take a multivitaman every day. But maybe I'm not getting enough potassium?Again, I want to reiterate the PAIN I went through, I don't wish it on my worst enemy.
Any ideas? I'm going to the doc if it doesn't get better soon.
