What is wrong with me???? Having cramps in my leg bad ones!!!!!?!

your doing something repetitive that is causing this, and it's something you were not doing before... you tell us...

edit:
your talking about a charlie horse i assume... if this cramp goes away after you walk it off your either doing somethin' that you were not doing before, or your having growing pains from your muscles being stretched,,, and i just don't see that being the case. as i remember your in your late 20's and your way done growing...
have you got a new car, or new furnature that sits lower.? this could be causing a repetitive motion that you were not doing before...Health Question & Answer

Here are a few tips that may help prevent leg cramps:


Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Doctors recommend six to eight glasses everyday.
Massage your muscles before going to bed.
Stretch daily, before and after exercise.

Maintain a well-balanced diet and eat foods high in calcium (such as milk and cheese), potassium (bananas and dates), and Vitamin E (spinach and sweet potatoes).

If you have a leg cramp, gently stretch and massage the muscle. You can apply a warm heating pad to the area to help calm the cramping muscle and reduce discomfort.Health Question & Answer

If it is in your calf, you may have DVT, or deep vein thrombosis. This is a blood clot in your calf. Its very important if it is red, swollen, or warm to the touch, these could be other indicators of DVT. Its important to go to a doctor asap to have them check this out, because blood clots in the calf can dislodge and get stuck in the lung, a pulmonary embolism, keep your heart from getting any oxygen and can kill you very quickly.Health Question & Answer
