more on leg cramps

Apparently, it is true that pointing your toes while in bed does summon leg cramps. Unfortunately, pointing my toes the moment I wake up is one of my habits. The research on the net yesterday about the probable causes of the painful cramps and how to prevent it really helped. As early this morning, as I was to point my toes yet again in bed, I noticed the beginning of a leg cramp in my calf... and reversing to dorsiflexion helped a lot! In fact, I was able to stop the leg cramp from ever occurring that time! Hurray! Indeed, knowledge is power!
