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.

It's all fun & games until your shin muscles start to cramp as well...

I've gotten the Hamstring/quads combo cramp a couple times and falling over, screaming, and not being able to move is an experience.

Just stand up. Pain stops as soon as you put weight on the leg.

100%. I tried stretching and massaging before and it kinda worked for me but when I stand on it it immediately stops.

Calf overpowered me. Now I'm on tippytoes.

For me, that advice is absolutely useless. Now I'm standing, in more pain, that lasts longer.

It's like if you step on shattered glass shards, the solution to your bleeding foot is to then jump in place. I'm good, thanks.

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 was apout to suggest this, I get leg cramps semi often and this tip is a life saver.
