This fixes it instantly every time for me. Ignore everybody else. When you get that cramp start moving your foot in the opposite direction pointing your toes towards your knee and stretch out the back of your ankle. Instant cramp relief everytime.
If you have cramping often like this then maybe dedicate yourself to some hamstring stretches.
I once tried it and got a second more agonising cramp
That's fair. Everybody's body is a bit different I suppose. I would totally be doing more stretches in your case though.
Yeah, I’ve neglected physical health too much recently
So like one a day?
I find this happens to me if I panic and do the stretch too quickly. But if I do it at fast but measured pace it works every time.
My dad told be the trick at a time when I was getting night cramps often and it changed my life
It could be that. I did it very slowly so idk, at least I woke up
This is how you fix a cramp scuba diving - grab the tips of your fins and pull up. Same effect. Works for me too.
...and learn better finning technique.
Boof magnesium
Quinine, there’s still some tonic waters that have it, and even in the very low dose that they use it’ll work preventatively for a few weeks
no boof sodium
Foam rolling + active release works better than pure stretching IMO. Also be sure to get your micronutrients in.
Edit: I should clarify this is intended for maintenance, not in the moment relief of the cramp.
Similar trick I learned, just get out of bed and stand up on it. It'll go away in ~10 seconds and then you can hop back into bed. Works pretty much every time.
Standing up works every time for me. If I want to remain in bed i try to push the bottom of my foot into the bed as if I were standing on it. It often does the job .
yeah that's what I do. The method described above you is what causes my cramps sometimes
Yeah I haven't had good luck with that either.
Alternatively, start eating properly and solve the problem at its root.
This trick has become a reflex for me, to the point where I barely even wake up when I get a Charlie horse in the middle of the night, since I start flexing my foot automatically when I feel it coming on.
