As the title says really, Aibu to think shouting out in agony due to leg cramp in the middle of the night is somewhat over the top?
Dh did this last night and I thought something was seriously wrong! I've had cramp myself and usually quietly stretch out or sometimes stand to sort it, certainly don't shout out in pain.
But I am prepared to admit I'm bu if others have had it much more severely than I have, I've just never heard of it being that bad.

Charley horse cramps in the night are horrendously painful. Like being set alight.

Yes and they come out of no where so the shock involved doesn’t help when you’re soundo!

Yeah I've definitely been there. Catches you off guard and is agony.

YABU

If you have it really badly it is absolute agony. I have only had it once or twice but was screaming and woke the whole house.

There's cramp (twinges/pain)and then the really serious agony.

I'm a very stoic woman who has had two babies with no pain relief and didn't make a sound - midwives commented on it!

But when you have cramp really badly you cannot help screaming.

I've done it too. Soooooo painful

redalex261 · 03/04/2024 09:21

Yep. I’ve screeched in agony with cramp.

Hermittrismegistus · 03/04/2024 09:20

Cramp can be incredibly painful.

I’ve had some horrific leg cramps in the past. I don’t get them often, maybe once or twice a year but they are agony until they go. I’ve definitely woke up suddenly and shouted ouch at a couple of them!

I've had cramp in my calf in the night a few times and cried out with the pain. It can be agonising.

Sandwichgen · 03/04/2024 09:20

I’ve done it!

Berlinlover · 03/04/2024 09:20

I have cried out in pain more than once due to leg cramp, it’s something that can’t be helped.
