Weird Pain in Leg

Selanne. Posts: 23 Joined: 2002/04/27	2002/07/23, 09:47 PM Sometimes I wake up and have this pain in my right calf muscle. It feels like every muscle is tensing up and it kills for about 30 seconds, any ideas on what it is?

When I first started cycling and again with Karate I had the same problem keeping in mind my diet sucked. I once woke up with one in my left calf tried to stand to walk it off got a second one in my right leg and i blacked out I could hardly walk for three days thats when I started learning. Good luck I know your pain -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.

I almost started to cry it hurt so bad, but the toe wiggleing thing helped! LOL -------------- "When in danger, or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout" LIFT HARD AND OFTEN!!!!!!
