"Painful"

I woke up this morning and sat up and the back of my leg started thudding really hard and the muscle was pulling really tight.
Now i can walk, or even stand up, my leg wont go straight. My mum even heard me screaming "outch" at like 6.00AM.
Um anyone know what it is, i kinda like to walk. It's a huge job just going to the toilet, takes about 5 minuets because i have to craw there on my hands and knees.

So if you have had it, please tell me how to make it stop, it is still pulling and im in serious pain.

Thanks.

I've had that loads. It's just cramp.

It appears for no apparant reason, like when watching TV.

Ive put this spray stuff on it, it is ment to relax the muscles.
Still bloody hurts like hell.

Do not do this.

R.I.C.E.

(Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation.)

(Lay down. Stick an ice pack on it. Put a little pressure on it. Lift it whilst laying down, stick on pillow or something.)

(I am a genius)

(You lot can thank me later)

Growing pains.
THAT'S WHAT MY BLOODY MUM SAYS WHENEVER I INJURE MYSELF IN ANY WAY!!1.
"Growing pains."
Damn you.

Thats what I thought. Cramp hurts like hell!

you might have torn a muscle (a pull most likely wouldnt be like that). you may have slept with your leg in an awkward position and twisted it or something.you cant get a pinched nerve in the middle-back of the calf.

You have pulled a muscle my wingéd friend

No i have had cramp befor, its much worse, at least with cramp you can walk.
I think it is a trapped nerver of something.

Muscle spasm probably

You could try to make the area cold with frozen pea pack or something, then put a warm flannel over it.

By swapping it is supposed to hurt but release the stress in the muscle

O and helpline sounds good
