Yeah same here. Hurt so badly!
The only thing that seems to help when i feel one coming on (i tend to feel them coming on when i go to stretch in bed) is to put my foot in the opposite direction.
I can't explain it. But whatever way you move your foot that starts it, move it in the opposite way and it will stop it from happening.

Re: Got my first leg cramp today
Ali is right in the above post. Point your foot and toes upward and that should alleviate the pain. I learned that technique in childbirth/lamaze class. It definitely helps!!

Definitely helps. I seem to get them in both legs, at once...and lately the cramping has been travelling up to my quads  But the flexing works like a charm...alleviates the discomfort rather quickly.
