Re: Really weird leg cramp attacks at night

So for about three years now every, I don't know, once a month or so, I wake up in the middle of the night with a leg cramp that hurts like hell (it's the pain that wakes me up). It's like my entire leg muscle gets as tight as it possibly can and feels like it's going to pop out of my leg. It usually only lasts 30 seconds ago and subsides to the point that it's tight, but it isn't painful. Last night, though, it lasted a good two minutes (I really freaked my wife out shooting out of bed and grabbing my leg). Today, it's still kind of cramped up. Anyone ever have anything similar, or know what the hell this is?

Are you a teenager? Sounds like growing pains to me. I went through them from about ages 14-17.
If you immediately jump out of bed and stand on the leg that is in pain, it will go away much quicker.

I'm married. I guess that could make me 17 (in some places), but no, I'm 25. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I've heard this from people I've asked too. What the hell causes growing pains anyway?
