severe muscle cramps/spasms

[wrestletib]

to being with, i dont even know what to call these things.

ill try to describe to the best of my ability.

it all started one morning. i was laying in bed, just woke up and i stretched out whilst in bed, im sure everyone does this.

now, during my stretch in bed, my calf completely froze up. and it felt like someone was slowly slicing through my muscle with a knife . It kinda felt like it tensed up, and wouldn't let go. hurt like hell.

i got it a few more times later that month. to the point where i was scared to stretch out in my bed.

then all of a sudden, while doing ab excerises, my STOMACH tensed, and wouldn't let go. kinda started to spasm, and it really hurt, like i cant even describe the insane amount of pain i was in. it jsut happened again yesterday.... i don't know what to do... im scared to do anymore ab workouts for the time being.



i heard its from low potassium, but how can this be? i have a huge heavy pb/bananna shake 3-4 times a week.....and plus, im sure potassium is in my diet/foods

Stretch more regularly, try and warm up before exercising.
If they get worse and more frequent see your doctor dude

What is your water intake like?

Multi-vitamin/mineral?

Electrolyte drinks?

Too much or not enough salt?

Last meals of the day?

Sounds like water and vitamins bro.
Happened to me i would wake up screaming. My calfs would cramped so bad. My wife would have to massage them for me.
I found my water intake was to low. I drank 1/2 more gallon a day and took some muti-vitamins never happened again
