Calf seized up/cramp?!
Question: Calf seized up/cramp!?
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night because of an intense pain in my right calf!. It was like the muscle was trying to condense itself into the size of a pea!. when i tried to massage it, it was rock hard!. It was the most pain i've ever felt in my life!. half-asleep all i could do was gasp and wonder when it would stop!. in about thirty seconds, it faded!. throughout the day i get a slight ghost of "warning pain" making me think if i use my right leg too strenuously it'll seize up again!. i haven't been doing any more physical activity than i usually do!. any reason why this happened then!? it's only happened about two other times in my life when i was much younger!.

I woke up and my leg was stretching itself beyond what it should and involuntarily (because I had been asleep)!. I looked it up and if you go here you'll find out that they're called night let cramps!. http://www!.mayoclinic!.com/health/night-l!.!.!.

It sounds like you experienced a "charley horse"!.
It happens when you're dehydrated or haven't had enough potassium - so eat some bananas!.
