STEP 1: when you feel the leg cramp is about to start, get out of bed immediately

STEP 2: with the leg that’s about to cramp, stand on the balls of your foot

STEP 3: when you do that, bend your leg slightly until it goes away

you can literally just tense the muscle in the leg to stop the cramp

related fun fact: just eat bananas, it has potasium.

I used to have leg cramps almost every night when I started out a diet. Friend recommended bananas, worked like a swiss army knife.

Eat a banana

I just kick the floor really hard tbh

You don't have to get out of bed. Just press your foot against the wall. Boom.

Putting any tension at all on the muscle makes it stop cramping.

And I found out how to get rid of hiccups instantly no extra resources required

But i like having leg cramps, i even know how to summon them at will.

Is that the ultrakill font?

i just dont move for a minute and it fucks off

I don't get why so many of y'all are getting leg cramps all the time. Just drink some damn water.

Whenever I feel one coming on I just extend my leg and point my foot/toes "upwards" as hard as possible to stretch out my calf while massaging it. Works best if you have something to push down on with the front/ balls of your foot like a secure ledge

Knowing how to do this is like removing altitude restrictions on your fighter jet, supremely satisfying.

Leg? What's that?

Leg balls? What is that

Eat bananas you troglodytes. If you’re regularly getting leg cramps you very likely have a potassium deficiency. Source: I used to get leg cramps when I was a foolish child in college with a terrible diet.

I just take a couple of deep breaths and it goes away

Mine would be just stretch even more.

I don't get out of bed. I just lift my leg up 90 degrees to make it straight and it goes away all while doing this in bed

For me, all I have to do is straighten out my leg and foot. I have to be pretty fast, but once I do that I just have to slowly relax and it's gone.

here's my tip: when it hits, do not panic. raise the leg slowly, take deep breaths, and relax. constantly tell yourself it's literally okay, because you will be okay. massage the cramped part gently too

I experienced a leg cramp once while sleeping. My brain went into panic mode and gaslit my cramping leg into thinking it didn't cramp. That's how I avoided it.

yeah I've been telling people for years

when i have leg cramp in bed i shake my leg and that helps

I just point my feet down and it goes away instantly.

i will test this, and if it Works, ill be forever thankful

Just lift the toes upwards as fast as you can. You don't even have to get up

Cool, now find a way to cure cancer

I always assumed you just pull your foot upwards as much as you can

You just stretch your toes/foot back by flexing it upwards while laying down.

Basically what you're doing when you stand on the balls of your feet and raise your toes/foot, without needing to stand though.

Getting leg cramps is such a normal occurrence to you that you have a strategy?

If you want to stop hiccups, the best and most thorough way that has always worked is to unironically "will" your hiccups to not exist.

Like you have to believe it kind of effort. When you have them or feel them coming literally gaslight yourself into thinking 'you dont' or 'you're not happening.'

I know it sounds stupid, but hiccups are entirely subconscious. A physical response that is repeated passively. The reason sooooo many people's "cures" for hiccups work is because the act of doing the cure is the placebo for "willing" them away; eating a spoonful of mustard, drinking a glass of water really fast, eating something spicy, etc. It's because 'you' think it works that it works.

Actually, im pretty sure you ain’t even got to stand up, simply stretching your leg the same way as you would when standing on the balls of your foot is enough most of the time

I just physically restrain the muscle.

My parents told me this when I was like 12, been using it since

Instructions unclear, stood on my balls

Drink water to take cramps away

Another method taught to me by the elders is to direct the toes of the cramping leg at yourself. I hope instructions are understandable I don't know how to say it correctly

I enjoy the cramps, because the pain reminds me that I am alive

YOURE RIGHT! YOURE SO RIGHT! THATS THE REVERSE CRAMP TECHNIQUE!

I dont get out of bed i just bend my leg and foot crouching and it goes away

Dawg it's easy, just pull your toes towards yourself and it goes away immediatelly

What if I only ever get cramps in my sleep? Like once a month I wake up to the PAIN and have to ride it out until I can sleep again

Thank you Lythero

You fool, I enjoy leg cramps.

I just shake my leg until it goes away

Why people use this sub as their weird ass diary? 

i dont have to get out of bed for that

i kinda just

push into the opposite direction the muscles are pulling

i can give myself and remove leg cramps

sure it hurte like shit when i first had them but now i bearly notice

I just bend my leg straight out as soon as I feel it start to cramp because I'll usually instinctively bend it inward which just makes it so much worse.

just pulling your big toe back also works

I used to get really bad leg cramps. Turned out my kidneys failed was the reason why. Go do a blood test OP if you're also sweaty at night or itchy.

Idk if it's the same cramp but if I stretch my foot down too much I get a calf cramp but I just stretch my foot up and it hits that sweet spot of pain that leaves you a little sore but very relaxed

Just put weight on it

Ok but what about the falling feeling?

Just stand

I drink a ton of water, mine tend to be dehydration based.

I just stand up and keep my leg straight, no need to do anything extra.

Well reply on my comment. Soon I shall see it and tell you how about it.

Bro Ive been telling people I can do this forever and they all say I’m crazy. I do it just on your back, bent knee, ball of foot down into bed hard, lift heel, heel down into bed hard

If its your shin thats cramping, for me just bending my foot upward works

Ngl I actually like it.

You can cancel cramps by flexing your toes upwards without getting out of bed if you're extra lazy.

Also punch the muscles near where cramp is about to happen. Something with lactic acid? Helps the body start working in that area I've found.

Ultrakill font?

is that the ultrakill font or has my mental health deteriorated more than I had previously calculated?

I literally just stand up when I start to feel a cramp and it just sorts itself out

I just pull my toes towards my knee. Works every time

Im stupid and was distracted by the ULTRAKILL font

Me: Wow that is good information in case i get accidental leg cramps.

My brain ('s intrusive thoughts): Now that you're in bed, flex your gastrocnemius until they cramp.

Don't listen to op get a bone saw and cut off your legs to remove leg cramps (I'm acknowledging this is a joke so I don't get banned)

a preventative measure is not to point your feet (like you're standing on your tippy toes) when you stretch your legs, instead do the opposite (like you're standing on your heels) and you'll never get the cramps in the first place.

it could also be a dietary thing, eat a nana every now and then

I just started breathing a lot and moving slowly the place where it happens and it goes away

The best is edging the leg cramp and then full sending it to get it over with

Parrying a charley horse is a sorta good feeling because it hurts but once you stand up you almost immediately feel it going away

My method is to just punch the cramp as hard as possible until it stops cramping. 50% of the time it works 100% of the time.

this REALLY seems like a u/YourFat888 post, but it isn't posted by him

What's a leg?

What even are leg cramps ?

The real trick to getting rid of all cramps is surprisingly to do it even harder. What I mean is if you say stretch your leg and then you muscles start contracting, don't let it contract, stretch it back out and hold it until the pain goes away. You can do this anywhere on the body, a lot of times I'll get a nasty cramp right under my jaw from yawning, and what I have to do is quickly push my finger deep into my jaw and manually push the muscle apart. Works eveytime tot he point i let a cramp progress just to see how bad it can really get. friends, never again.

just do one situp, grab the toe of the cramping leg, pull towards you while keeping the leg straight and pushing the ball away from you

just stretch the muscle, if crams are caused by stretching, contract them

How to bend the the knee if ur standing in the balls of ur foot?

This you buddy boy?

Correct way:

Straighten legs, point toes towards face. Ez

I just shake my leg a lot and it works

I just stretch my leg in the opposite direction of the cramp.

what i usually do is flex my foot inwards (towards the abdomen) as soon as i feel the cramp coming and hold it there.

this usually works for calf cramps, which are the type i get most
