I’ve been suffering for a few weeks but last night was particularly bad and I shot out of bed.
I’ve had no cramps today but the muscles in my left calf feel tight and feels stiff when I walk, any advice on how to help thIs?
It’s not red or swollen X

Ive heard magnesium is fantastic for leg cramps! The after pain though probably nothing much you can do other than stretching out the muscle and taking some paracetamol

Magnesium cream and/or magnesium salts in the bath. Gentle stretching and ask partner for a calf massage x
