A few nights ago I woke up screaming in pain and started punching my wall. I had a charlie horse in my calf and it was easily the most painful one I've ever experienced. 2 Days later I'm still struggling to walk comfortably.

I've definitely had this one, minus the punching the wall part. Not fun.

I've had my calf lock up on my when I've slept several times in my life. It really sucks. I've actually found that if it happens, start massaging the calf and slowly point your toes down. you still may be limping for the rest of the day, but it won't be really bad

I was on dialysis for a year and when they'd take too much fluid off (usually shot for 2-3kg depending on my weight change over 2-3 days) I would get the worst calf cramps of my life that would last for up to 30 minutes. The pain was unbearable and I almost broke down in tears several times. There was a hot young (25, I was 22 at the time)dialysis technician that would come by and massage my legs when this happened so it wasn't all bad.

When I was 6 or so I was lifting large rocks above my head while pretending that I was superman. I lifted one that was a bit too heavy and dropped it straight on my big toe. It bled like crazy and the entire nail came off.

My first year of junior high (7th grade) I was playing a game we called powerdodge. Basically we took the motors out of old powerwheels we had, tied them up to a bike and towed someone down a big hill near my house as fast as possible while throwing objects in front of them to dodge. I was on the powerwheels and failed to dodge a shopping cart thrown in front of me, instead flipping over and skidding on my right knee for several feet. There wasn't any blood just a soft pure white jellowy tissue substance that was exposed. It didn't hurt either until that night when my mom had to remove all the debris from it and sterilize it. For 2 weeks after everytime I bumped my knee the scab would fall off and it would start bleeding. I remember my first Jr High dance I was rockin to Cypress Hill's Insane in the Membrane and the scab fell off from rubbing against my pants leg. By the time I noticed it my lower pants leg was soaked in blood and it was dripping on the floor. I still have an awesome scar on my knee from that.
