"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.

try very slowly stretching it until you cant go anymore, every now and again. no walking for you then!

Jump up and down on it. Or at least put pressure on it. That can sometimes ease the pain, although I've known it to also make it worse. Your choice.

Or maybe it's about to get gangrene, rot away or be amputated?

You sure it's not just cramp?

Me thinks you either phone the helpline or see a doctor.

Might be a trapped nerve or something like that.

I might do that, anything to get my leg sorted.
