Leg Cramps

Two nights ago I woke up with a cramp in my leg. It was not my calf or my shin but on the side of my leg. I pulled my foot inword and got rid of the cramp. I was sore throughout the day but it was ok. Then last night I got another one in the same place. It went away then came back 3 more times. By the second one I was crying and trying to keep it together. It was 5am and I was sore and tired but I couldn't sleep. My leg felt so tight and painful that I was scared that it would happen again. Needless to say...I'm tired and sore today. I feel like my whole body is sore from all that.

I went online to read up on leg cramps and there are a few things that I can do to prevent them...

bananas

stretches throughout the day

warm bath

calcium (has not been proven to help)

So I have been stretching before and after workouts but I quess I'll have to do it before and after bed too. I already take calcium but I can add a banana a day. (Half in the morning and half at night because all that sugar makes my tummy hurt.) Baths...I told Brandon that I would only bath if he cleaned out the tub (not that it's dirty but I don't like taking baths because it feels yucky) so I'll get a bath tonight.

I posted about t hese cramps on facebook and Danielle (my sis) said that I should try a strawberry/banana/yogurt shake! YUM!
