this happens to me sometimes while i am sleeping...just wondering what everyone else does in this situation

Answer 1

i do all those things eventually it stops, so i really dont know which one works.

Answer 2

i don't know if its a charlie horse for sure, but whatever it is when it happens it hurts so bad i can't make a sound or even move, but it usually doesn't last long and hasn't happened in a long time thankfully. when it does happen its when i'm in a very deep sleep.

Answer 3

I straighten it out as much as I can...It might hurt worse, but it always seems to make the pain go away quicker for me

Answer 4

i stretch my leg out, and if it doesn't stop hurting i get up and walk around.

Answer 5

I have to get up and walk it off, it makes the pain go away much faster.

Answer 6

I take my thumb and forefinger and pinch my upper lip just below my nose as hard as I can. Sounds strange, but it works. Try it next time.

Answer 7

I have to get out of bed and walk on it.

Answer 8

moaning and making faces is always good!

Answer 9

i get up and move around and i rub my leg until its gone.

Answer 10

walk it off its healthy to keep the blood circulating and your muscles are stiff
