At about 7 AM I woke up with a tight pain in my calf, I'm like "damn, it's a cramp, I'll just stretch it out and it go back to sleep"

So I stretched my leg out and it felt like a dozen knives stabbing me in the calf repeatedly. I yelled extremely loudly, my dog was like "WTF", and I had to get up hobble around on it for several minutes before it mostly went away.

It was seriously much more painful than snapping my ankle in half.

I can still feel feel it now, even though I have stretched my leg several times this morning.

I used to randomly wake up in the middle of the night w/ this shit. Hasn't happened in a year or two, though. Wonder what was causing it.

"restless leg syndrome" is really just a name for how fat americans sit around eating sugar filled products all day without any physical activity and their atrophied muscles spasm at night as a result.

i've had that before its not restless leg syndrome... the trick to break this craop in curl the leg into a fetal position against your chin and put as much weight on the ball as possible - sit like that for abotu 2 minutes and go back to sleep...

bananas... they fix it.

Either that or a nice multivitamin.
