I first discovered this song a month or so ago while re-watching The Matrix (totally holds up btw, in spite of all the far right nut jobs trying to claim it as theirs) 25 years after I first heard it 25 years ago but didn’t actively notice 😄
FYI if you ever get leg cramp, completely straighten your leg, and flex your feet upwards, towards your shin. This will stretch your leg muscles and stop the pain almost immediately.
Used to happen to me quite a few times, esp. when being a kid doing lot of sports. Once I was afraid I would drown when getting leg cramp in the pool, but this method saved me.
Were your cramps so strong you could not control your muscles anymore? Asking about the pool thing. I have often had leg cramps and I retained full motor control.
I just had one last week! Ugh just feeling it tighten until my muscles start tearing is the worst… And then I get to explain why I’m limping at work lol
When I used to get these, the thing that made them stop immediately was standing up. It seems like the last thing you want to do, but standing up and putting all weight on both legs as soon as I felt one coming always did the trick.
I came here to comment about how much worse it is in your thigh. Stronger muscles, and you can’t easily stretch it out because of that. I’ve only had that happen a few times and wow is it awful. My sympathies to you.
