Hi Kendra,
I know how embarrassing the leg cramps can be when you're in public. Usually I have constant leg spasms that feel like horrible Charlier horses. The only thing that makes me comfortable is a medication called baclofen. However, last week, I was walking down the hallway at work on my way to class, when a "zinger" spasm hit my right calf. It was there one minute and gone the next. It grabbed my muscle that I was trying to walk with and made it impossible to take a step. I almost fell, but ended up stumbling and grabbed the wall for support - not really something you want to do when you're walking in front of a group of college kids. I recovered, but a few steps later, another spasm hit my right thigh. I was a bit more prepared and was able to catch myself, but by the time I got to my class, about four others had "zinged" their way through my leg. Not fun at all! I was just glad that I wasn't walking up or down the stairs or I would have probably bounced all the way to the bottom.
Anyway, please let me know what you find out. I hope it's nothing serious and you'll be able to get a quick answer and cure.
Hugs,
Lisa
