Why do I always get these random leg cramps?

Like, I’ll wake up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain because of a leg cramp, and I’ll just sit there in agony for about a minute, then it’ll go away. Or I’ll be laying in bed at night, and I’ll move my leg and I’ll get a leg cramp. They hurt SO much, everytime I get one I think I’m gonna die :( Why do I keep getting them? I’m not even doing anything at night, just sleeping and laying in bed and typing and stuff. You’d think I’d get one when I was actually moving around, but no… >.>

Answer #1

Its probably growing pains. I used to get them a lot. You should try eating banana’s or something with potassium in it. I used to drink a banana shake every night before I went to bed when I was prego because I got them a lot then.

Answer #2

But I already eat bananas D: like every morning, pretty much. I always have a banana when I eat breakfast. But I’ll eat more I guess :P And I hope their growing pains!! Cuz I’m 5’4 at the moment..it’d be really nice to grow a bit…

Answer #3

Well then I guess it is growing pains, because cramps usually come from a lack of potassium. There only a few type of cramps potassium won’t help. Growth Spurt!! :)

Answer #4

It may be growing pains, or some medicines will give you bad cramps. Try eating potassium rich foods, and when the cramps come stretch your muscle by pointing your toe up at the ceiling, and then down as far as it goes

Answer #5

Dehydration can also give you charlie horses in your legs…drink lots of water…they aren’t dangerous, but ooooh…are they painful.

Answer #6

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Soda makes it worse too!

Answer #7

I can’t move when I get a leg cramp lol, I’m pretty much curled up in a ball, praying for it to end. :P

Answer #8

Alrightie, I’ll drink more water (yuck). The water at my house tastes like d!ck though :( And why would soda make it worse? D:!!

Answer #9

Yaaaaay! But I don’t wanna be toooo tall. 5’7 would be a good height to stop growing at :3
