Worst leg cramps are in bed when you stretch mid way through your sleep and you feel like your laying in air because you're so comfortable. Then the cramp comes in and you can't do shit.
TechForYou I know you can't do shit
Lmfao I hate that shit man
TechForYou I experienced much worse today i was going to home from hard practice i climbed over a fence and i got it there i couldn't drop down because my right leg could lock for more seconds and receiving the full impact before going to chill so i'm never climbing over fences.
TechForYou that’s literally what is happening to me
TechForYou yeahhh currently feeling that shit
my strategy with dealing nasty calf cramps, lie in the bed screaming for help and wait until it was over, lol

I got a nasty one last night and I think the best method is to grab the cramp and massage it out. This seems to help last night.
ridzuan shah mine is to take a cold shower.works perfectly for me everytime
Muammarvsgaming 00 You must not be getting cramps because most people are in pain and can not move

Love how everyone is talking about massages, oils and so on, while I literally punched my leg and the pain stopped.
Note to self: Kick your ass

I was dying from a cramp while watching this . This helped so much
Pijuan Glad it helped!
Pijuan sams
I'm 16 and I play soccer, I get these like a lot. It's so painful. This helps so much you don't even know! Thank you!
Same
+Some Girl You're very welcome! I'm very glad to hear this is helping you!
+Saltdog3210 x Fantastic! Hopefully this also helps stop the frequency and intensity of your cramps.
They grow up so fast now your 18
+ Some Girl ~ I once saw a semi-pro soccer game in which the players rubbed some liniment on their calves before the match started so as to prevent cramps. Please consider doing this before you play.
Play on!
I was writhing in pain. Literally praying for my calf cramp to stop. - THIS helped so much! Going WITH the tension... using other nearby muscles to help my calf relax - genius. Thank you so so so much. Thumbs up and a like from me!
i got a cramp trying to do this
:(
MrClassified FR!!! I did this and then the other leg started cramping up too!!! Worst pain I've ever felt!!
Alyssa Brown I don't mean to laugh but it's either laugh or cry for me. My nurse friend told me to do stretches and it made matters worse 😢
MrClassified same bro

Same😂😂😂😂😅
Every cramp video has like a 20 minute intro about why you have one - just f’n help with the solution bro
EXACCCCTTTLLLYYYYYYY!!!!
Just suffered the longest cramp and I thought I'd search UA-cam for a fix. I'm so glad this was the very first video I clicked on because it immediately worked. The first thing I had to do was calm down and follow your steps. Thank you for this video, Angelo.
Thank you so much Sir. I was hit by a car afew years ago and I experience leg cramps all the time. I always have to call in to work cause I cant work it out. your video just saved me from calling in yet again today cause I cant move my leg. it didn't only technic didn't only help my cramp, but it gave me hope. I am a work-a holic and the days I have to call in, I feel useless, because of these horrible cramps. now, I don't have to call in anymore. you truly are the best

Ok.. i usually get leg cramps at night and i would scream and cry and stay still until it went away BUT i figured something out that is helping now. Once i am feeling the leg cramp i QUICKLY wake up and jump out of the bed and stand up.. this works 100% and ever since ive figured it out ive been doing that routine and it works.
My cramps are really bad... I can't even think enough to do all that. My calf muscles start tightening and pulse everywhere. I'm scared of cramps 😂
9dragonslaya If you have frequent cramps you may want to get it checked out by a doctor. Some of the simplest things to do is to make sure you're drinking enough water and getting enough sleep and not eating foods that are irritating to your body.
You can still practice these even when you aren't cramping and it might help to prevent them.
Mine just woke me up from sleep which is when I get them so often. Either I'll drink pickle juice or take every night a pill that I found at walmart that's for cramps and have been the best thing ever for me and it's a natural thing not addicting but I have found that if I don't take it in two days that I finish them I start back up.
Mine too my legs cramp up so much, like every day and they don't stop. They keep me from sleeping and they never stop hurting. Even if I do a bunch of maussages and stretches. I feel you!!!
Skip to 1:18 to avoid intro bullshit
Bose de-Nage thanks boo
It only 3 min but ok
Honestly, I just grip my leg and wait till it stops hurting😂
Me too they say to stretch it out but it hurts worse.
9037chaparra right😭😭
Left calf cramp is common for me... And I scream on my pillow so loud.
Is this normal? I just had a leg cramp and it ended less than 1 min
+Mr.Tkx
Lower leg cramps are a common, but they shouldn't be an everyday "normal" occurrence. For people that have calf cramps frequently, having them last less than one minute is a blessing. So it's perfectly good that you had a milder leg cramp. If you're not having them frequently, then you shouldn't worry. Now you know how to take care of them so hopefully they last much less than one minute!
Mr.Tkxq same
Mr.Tkxq mine are like 45 secs heats up at like 15 to 25
Mr.Tkxq a
Mr.Tkxq no youre just lucky
A few years ago I was having bad cramps due to medicine side effect and I watched this and tried it. It worked! I had 1 or 2 cramps later and used this again it worked. I was trying to remember how I did it and came back to watch it again. Thank you!
Thank you, this helped me. My cramp was not in the calf, rather it was is in the shin and this exercise helped. Also, just crossing my legs at the ankles, the top foot simply resting on top of the other, NOT pointing the toes inward, I could still do the resistance exercise with the bottom foot. This way I didn't trigger a cramp in the foot on top. Thank you! 😀👍
I just got the worst cramp right after I woke up and it seriously hurt so badly and I usually can handle pain but this one had me almost crying
Good job thanks for sharing. You just saved my girlfriend life. Her and I just having a lil adult fun and this cramps just get her, I searched for cramps relief and I came across you video I had her did as you said and she got free thanks again.
David Louis Thanks for letting me know. Loved to hear!
It’s normally in my right leg, I play hockey so it’s a lot of leg strength. I get them so bad in the middle of the night and it’s horrible. I feel like I may have one tonight so thank you for this video
Same here- adult hockey player, R lateral calf. Wow...
Thank you so much!!! Your technique worked like a charm!!!
Awesome to hear! Cheers to 2023!
I watched this vid as soon as the cramps hit me and it has really really helped me release them. Thank you so much Angelo!!
I had a cramp during basketball practice and it was a couple days ago I could walk but every time I run or put pressure it doesn't go well
Alex Palau same
Drink pickle juice
I get cramps every night in both ankles and top legs this video helped
Playing basketball from 3:00 to 8:30 brought me here I'm laying still right now
This helped relief a thigh cramp I just had. Thank you!
I’ve been getting them so often now... only thing that relieves the pain is screaming and curling my toes until it stops.
Thank you so much I hope it gonna stop my crying in the middle of the night bc of my leg cramps
I've had leg cramps in both my legs 24/7 throughout the day for the past WEEK they have brought me to tears not even this works..
Thank you. Good saying ~> “ here’s to making moves that nourish your life “
I just have a cramp today on my feet and it works😭 thank you, it really hurts but it's fine now
When you said stay hydrated I just drank water and went to normal
Happened today both at same time. Looked up a solution and tried this on my right leg and then compared with the left, feels so much better, really good method!
This works great! I just had a thigh cramp actually and this procedure also worked great for upper leg. Thanks.
drink a cup of warm water 2 tblspoons of salt!.... thats if you can make it to the kitchen...trust me ive had severe cramps... i now know to supplement daily with magnesium and potassium.... drinking salt water helps instantly...if i get a cramp.
Jude Hiri buuuuuulllllsheeet
I havent gotten a leg cramp in my life, only in my lower part but it lasted only like 40 seconds. Am I blessed?
Awesome dude. Thanks! I had a back of the leg cramp in a bar, so painful, thought I was gonna die. Began stretching and making it worse.I wish I saw your vid. before.
Ilham H Thanks for your comment, Ilham. If your leg cramp happens again, now you know what you can do! Also, make sure you stay hydrated so you have less of a chance to cramp.
I just had a serious leg cramp. I was dehydrated so after managing to get to a tap for water intake, everything was relaxed. Always stay hydrated. Going back to the gym. Peace
There is another simple exercise that is , immediately stand straight and support your self, steadily stand on your toes and back. If you do it three or four times the tension will get released.
Thank you THANK YOU! This works .. I have had so many sleepless nights before finding this video. I had to come back to tell you that it really works.. Now as soon as I feel one coming on I do just as you said and they go away.. Thanks again I owe you a hug.
Last night for the first time in my life I had leg cramps in BOTH legs (calf muscles) and they were uncontrollably bending upward (the opposite of this video). I woke up my wife and had her try to bend my feet downward but it only got worse. I decided to try and stand on my feet.
I had difficulty getting out of bed and walking, it was horrible. I went to the kitchen and took some magnesium and potassium supplements and within a few minutes the cramping finally went away.
Yesterday I did many hours of strenuous yard work on my feet and sweated a lot, (practically all day on my feet). I figure I was dehydrated and this is what caused the cramping overnight.
Thank you it worked i got a cramp while swimming and I've had it for hours and this relieved it
I pinch my upper lip pressure points they stop instantly but sore afterwards stretch you showed is great. when leg starts to lock up. put the tip of index finger on the fold of upper lip where a moustache would be push towards gums, with thumb on one side and middle finger on other side grab a clump of skin and fold upper lip. stops instantly I promise.
I just had a cramp and searched up
How to prevent cramps
I tried it and it worked!!!
It’s really effective . Thank you sir
the amount of times I’ve had a terrible leg cramp… i have finally won.
I have had these for 40+ years. Usually get 1-2 per year. I learned stretching the calf before sleep helps. Also massaging the calf DURING the attack helps. Finally, yes while the ones that wake you up are bad, good Lord the ones you have while awake are life changing.
Hi Angelo thank you very much this helped me a lot. I just had excruciating leg cramps I didn't know what to I grab my I pad, found your video I followed your instructions... And voila... After few minutes it's gone. Will definitely share this to everyone.
Thanks for the video I will always do the excise 👏👏
i get calf cramps while pennant and i found this Technic by myself but without putting other leg on it just stretching the cramping leg slowly really helps..do not know why doctor doesn't know about this solution..thanks for the vedio
i find just standing up and walking around in baby steps help stop my cramps xD
Amazing that helps, my cramp immediately stopped
your technique does help - thanks
Thank you so much Angelo, I serached for this video while i was having a calf muscle cramp and it worked instantly, thank you so much !
I had calf cramps during and after track practice this helped instantly!
I slept for 4 hours last night, was dehydrated, and hadn't eaten much .....and I decided to workout. Not my smartest choice. Thanks for the video!
thanks that helped allot. i'll make sure to share it with everyone to show my gratitude.
I've had foot and leg cramps my whole life. The cause may be diet, which is not my point. Either way. If you are sleeping and get a leg or foot cramp, if you stand up with both feet on the ground, applying pressure, from your body weight, to your legs, you will likely find relief. Someone may call this a band-aid cure or whatever but it works. Stand up and find relief. After that, you may want to figure out the causes etc. BUT when you are screaming in agony, you can try this method so you can find relief. This advise is based on my 40 years of getting these cramps. My father told me this simple method as a kid and for me, it works 100% of the time. Not 99% but 100%. This is just my experience I am sharing to help others. Yes, I should probably figure out how to prevent them in the first place but this advice is what it is. I have tried eating banana's but it never worked. I'm now looking on-line and it may be Magnesium I'm deficient in and not Potassium. I hope this helps people to at least get some relief. Leg cramps are horrible!!!
I used to excersize like 2 days a week for an hour (Push ups, Sit Ups, Planks, Squats, Lunges) I had stopped for a week and i got this and honestly it felt like exploding
the best technique! got relief almost instantly
I can't move when I have a cramp of my calf, it's like I'm paralyzed
this really helped I had cramp for a long time and couldn't get rid if it but I tried your technique and it really helped thankyou
It worked!
thank you very very much!😀😀
Was in bed chilling cramps come in felt like i was diying so looked it up on UA-cam to relive it hela quick painn
thank you man I was having muscle cramps for long time it helped me
OMG OMG OMG .. TBH I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE HOPE THAT THIS WAS GONNA WORK , CAUSE WHILE I WAS DOING IT I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING. THEN WHEN I GO TO STAND UP I FELT NO CRAMP AT ALL!!!!!. THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS U AND HOW U FOUND THAT SCENARIO OUT WOOHOOO GOING TO GO RELAX NOW .. FINALLY!!.
Oh my gosh thank you so much I had such bad cramp after playing soccer I did this and it got rid of the pain in seconds thank you so much. Legend ❤️
how do i prevent a leg cramp? i feel like my leg is trying to cramp and i am doing everything to not let it happen i am scared of them happening. worst pain ever
I always get cramped whenever i swim too much, and i hate it, this helped me a bit to relieve it whenever i got a cramped, thanks
if i had a big cramp in one legg, and a small one on the other? how should i react to this?
+Jaber Ali
You can do this on both lower legs. You might have to use a little more stronger contraction/ resistance on the leg that has a "bigger" cramp.
Thank you it helps me a lot.
try to stand up when you have a cramp, it always helps me
Impressive advice
it hurts more than a cramp but it paid off anyway so thank you sir
Thank you so much!!!! It really helped !! , still hurting but not as bad
I play basketball but I don't stretch. An hour after I get home I am laying in bed. All of a sudden I get a cramp, I scream less than the last time the same thing happened and dealt with the pain
this is awesome helped so much thank u
Days Gabrielle 7
this sucked my daughter had a cramp i gave this to her and she has more pain
I woke in the middle of the night with horrific cramp in my hamstring and calf ... I'd overworked ... 3 classes in the gym that day ... the cure was hydration and lots of magnesium (calm .. mag citrate is great) and massage with some tiger balm.
When the leg cramps occur I then have same symptoms in my arms in the muscles from the elbow up
How do you deal with a cramp if you leg is folded while sitting on the floor with nothing to hold. Currently I am sitting on the floor in agony and this happened during and after my run. While I was running my leg started to have a cramp more than 3 times and I eventually had to stop because of it. While running I ran for three hours and when I got back inside I rehydrated and ate dinner then went to sleep. Any advice? Thank you and have a nice day everyone!
P.S (don’t) Stay crampy
I've been getting cramps at night lately although I eat well, get enough magnesium, go on walks and do light exercise on regular basis, but it is due to pregnancy. Sometimes I have trouble sleeping because of that, but I what I always do (and what always helps) is I jump straight out of the bed, walk around a bit and it it stops. However, I will try your technique for sure. Thank you!
Having one right now
It actually helped
It's still hurting but the trick is effected. Pain is less now
I would never be able to do that. As soon as my calf cramps, my brain shuts down and I can't think clearly. All I'm focused on is the pain.
Thank you thank you thank you, I have always tried to resist and pull back, Ill certainly try the asymmetric method next time.
I was so bad while watching this and it worked thank u
All I do is walk it off is that bad ? I've been doing it since like 9
Yes you have to rest it, putting pressure on it is bad
This video Sucks I put pressure on it and it went away
I use to do that because it really hurt to be still or straight
My recent cramps have been from walking to much
DOGGYDOGG I stand on it and the pain goes away tf
Thanks and I gave it a like but this makes my feet cramp! My problem is probably a different kind of cramping. Cheers!
So.. When stuck on the inside in overhead barreling surf and both calves are crazy-cramping I will remember your words and wish I was home in bed. Thank you.
Another option that is very effective lie down then bend your ankle, if your left foot is the one that is being attack by leg cramp then bend your ankle and raise your right hand the furthest you can do in a split of second you will be reilved from pain hope this could help try it and take magnicium preferably Mega Food Magnicium and hydrate, Vice versa if the the foot bend your ankle raise your left hand if both legs then bend your snkled raise both your left and right hands the furthest you can do and bend your ankle just sharing my way of dealing with my noctural cramp that has been very very effective.
It is magnicium not calcium and proper hydration is what we need .
This works like magic! However, I often get severe cramping in other muscles, too. Major cramp 2 nights ago in my quad muscle. Took 10 agonizing minutes to get rid of it and was sore the next day. Need some help!!
