Where I walk incredibly slowly because my quads are in so much pain and then I wake up and they really are killing me

Muscle cramps?

PS - NOT CRAMPS

more like a terrible ache

if i'm in pain i dream about it too. when my arm goes to sleep i always dream that it got cut off or somebody poured acid on my hand or something.

I can't figure out why my legs would ache like that, though

potassium deficiency

heh, considering my current diet, you're probably right

well, that usually gives cramps.


maybe your bed is causing a pressure point in your spine, giving you sciatica. i'd try changing sleeping positions.

Every couple of months, I'll wake up and my leg will be bent and I'm not able to stretch my leg back down w/o a lot of pain (like a pulled muscle pain). I asked my doctor about it and she said its probably RLS (restless leg syndrome) but also said it could be a potassium defiency

I now take potassium pills

That sounds like a wicked cramp

8/11/2011 12:08:01 PM

I have that "pulled muscle" feeling my leg for days afterwards too



But its gotten better since I started taking my pills
