This happened when I was walking multiple times a day, on my weight loss journey. I’d wake up in the middle of the night and my whole leg, especially my calves, ankle, and toes. Everything would just lock up. Like a huge Charlie horse. I would stretch, use tennis balls, try to relax it. Nothing would work besides trying to walk off the pain, while holding onto anything you can because one of your legs doesn’t work. More, stretching, and more exercise helped them go away. Now that I started skateboarding again at 34, I’ve been having this issue with my left foot. My toes were completely curled in this morning. Probably be wise that is my pushing/stopping foot. Damnit…. That hurt.

@@ExerciseForHealth Whatever you want to call it, I just mean that one can be in way too much pain to be having all these ideas, like putting a ball under your calf or any other idea, the pain can be to excruciating to be looking for ideas to rid yourself of the cramp or pain or whatever you want to call it, all I can do is stand up in a straight position and I can't move at all. If I don't stand up in a straight position my foot will go backwards, when standing straight I can't move at all, all my veins front and back are bulging, I cannot imagine myself walking and going to look for a Tennis ball to stick under my calf while my foot wants to contort backwards, that's all, I just made a comment like anyone else... Oh, and Magnesium and potassium helps me not to have leg cramps, sometimes when I don't feel like taking my vitamins or drinking the extra water I will have the leg cramps.

This sounds like a great idea. I'll try it! I have very tight calves, quads and hamstrings. I think my tight calves might have been caused by a condition I have - rigid big toe in each foot. But, like the chicken and egg, I'm not sure what came first. And I'm not sure which to try and heal first. Any thoughts? I'm not flexible and I find it hard to manipulate the big toes to get relief from the pain. It also makes it hard for me to exercise sometimes, even just walking. I'll try to use a tennis ball. Hope it helps me. Thanks!

Tricky, as like you said you don't know whether one is causing the other. Try doing a calf stretch against a wall. This is where you place your toes on the wall, with the heel of your foot on the ground, as close to the wall as you can get. Keeping the leg straight at the knee, start to move your hips forwards stretching the calf, but at the same time bending the toes back a bit. Also, although not directly relevant, this video may provide some alternatives kzread.info/dash/bejne/p31-1JOCqZW4YJc.html at about 1 min 30 secs in to it.
