I used to get this all the time back in high school and know what a pain it can be!. The best immediate thing to do is get up and stand on the leg that is cramping!. It might continue to hurt for a few seconds but then goes and stays away for the night!. In order to get rid off this problem all together, I started taking magnesium tablets!. You can buy them in any drugstore or Wal-Mart!. They will take care of your magnesium deficit in a heart beat, which means no more cramps at night!Www@Answer-Health@Com

from what i have read, it could be due to low levels of potassium!. it can't hurt to try increasing those potassium levels, & see if it helps!. bananas, kiwi fruit, or tablet/pill supplements!. and remember to push "heel out" when trying to ease a cramp!.
good luck hope it helps you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

That happens to me alot!. It's not really caused by dehydration by by potassium and calcium deficiencies, or growth spurts!. Try eating more bananas and drinking milk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you are cramping up in your calf's, you sound dehyderated!. drink gatorade, water and rest!. sounds like you are just dehydrated!. drink lots of fluids!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I USED TO GET THIS ALL THE TIME WHILE I WAS SLEEP!.!.!. YOU ARE GETTING A "CHARLIE HORSE"!. YOUR JOINTS ARE VERY TIGHT!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
