How can I heal a leg cramp?!


Question:

How can I heal a leg cramp?

I woke up this morning with a really bad cramp in my calf. It hurts so bad I can't sleep. Yesterday I walked around a lot, but I tend to be more active than I was yesterday. Do you think that has anything to do with my leg cramp? What can I do to help it feel better?


Answers:

I had a lot of leg cramps when i was in tae kwon do - the thing that helped me was taking a hot bath with epsom salt (found in any pharmacy or store), massaging it with icy hot works wonders, too, just don't put to much on. The icy hot patch works, too. Oh, and try to drink a lot of water as well.


In tae kwon do i always smelled like Tiger Balm, a form of icy hot. I think tiger balm works the best but I've only found it in walmart.

Feel better soon! I know it hurts.
