oh...thankyou so much...Im so glad others have had the same thing, as ive been so worried...because they are just so painful...and i think DP thinks im a drama queen when i start crying and screaming....
But its just not like a normal cramp...its so painful...and sometimes, if i dont get rid of it properly, my calf muscle aches for like 3 days afterward.

The bad one i had the otherday left me limping round the house for 3 days afterward....it was terrible.

I drink a fair bit of milk and that during the day.. im taking mylanta too, so hopefully that will work in the same way as a rennie.
I usually try and not stretch my legs, but when im half asleep i forget lol
