hi sisses, may nakaka-experience ba sa inyo nito? na in the middle of the night bigla ka na lang magigising dahil pinupulikat ang binti mo?

i started experiencing this 2 years ago... but lately napapadalas... this 2009.. nakaka 4-5 pulikat na ata ako sa binti... nakakaiyak ang sakit...

what could be the possible causes of this?

it happened to me as in masakit talaga siya..
maybe one of the cause ng pulikat is masyadong napagod yung binti natin kakalakad maghapon.yung pagsuot din ng high heels is one the reason..

what I usually do pag nangyari ito is tinataas ko yung binti ko or pinapatong sa mas mataas na gamit(lpagpatungin moh lang yung mga unan ok na yun)
nawawala naman siya.

This also happened to me before.
I was really scared kasi sobrang sakit.
Tinaas ko lang din 'yung legs ko and nawala din after a while.

it also happened to me sis...as in ang painful talaga huhuhu...

- what i did was i massage the area in my leg, feel na feel ko talagang contracted yung muscle, ang tigas talaga,..tapos inextend ko sya.

- then eat potassium rich foods sis, like banana pag bangon mo..include it in your diet..

hope it helps

i also experience this sometimes. napapatayo talaga ko sa sakit. mina-massage ko na lang yung affected leg then pag medyo okay na, humihiga ako ulit then ine-elevate ko sa wall. di pa ko ulit nagccramps habang tulog, siguro nakatulong talaga yung pagkain ng banana. dati kasi di ako halos kumakain nun.

ganun ba? naku hindi pa naman ako palakain ng saging... kasi nga constipated din ako...

haaayy sige try ko pa rin kahit every other day... or 3x a week...

naku ang sakit nyan. last week napasigaw ako kasi natutulog ako bigla ako pinulikat, sobrang sakit talaga. sabi nga itaas daw un paa kapag ganun. baka kulang din tayo sa potassium kaya ganun.

when i was preggy madalas kong maranasan ang pulikatin esp pagkagising sa morning. while stretching, masakit halos mangiyak-ngiyak talaga ako kaya ginagawa ko hindi na lang ako nag-uunat kasi parang nabibigla ang mga muscles ko sa binti then sa gabi elevated ang mga paa ko. it helps naman.

madalas nangyayari sakin yan mga sis. hindi ko na nga pinapansin sobrang nakasanayan ko na. alam ko na nga kung anong gagawin ko para mawala siya.

minsan rin pag super cold you can get cramps. wrapping my foot with a blanky helps to keep my foot/ leg warm. pero kung lagi and sometimes you get manas have yourself checked it might be something else.

ok rin to put tiger balm madali maka relieve rin ng cramps yung balm na yun and yeah eat bananas for potassium and drink water, baka dehydrated rin kayo without knowing.

i notice i get cramps in the evening (once in a while) before menstruation. sobrang hassle. sabi b-complex supplements help din.

question:do women lose potassium on our period?

cutiemiel · « **Reply #11 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:19:52 pm »

Ako na experience ko ito nung preggy ako, naawa mnga ako kay hubby [textspeak!] nasisisra ang tulog nya everytime pinupulikat ako.

Nung nasa Dubai din ako [textspeak!] pag summer sobra init dito ayun, naeexperience ko din sya.

onefineapril · « **Reply #12 on:** April 04, 2009, 03:10:44 pm »

ano kayang possible causes nito?

bleudskymd · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2009, 05:02:04 pm »

i am also a victim of this. lalo na pag stressed sa work.

what i do is stay calm, breathe in and out, move my (painful) leg slowly. pag ok na, get back to sleep.

then eat bananas during my meal.

stupidgal · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2009, 12:36:31 am »

I've experienced this na din, kadalasan pag malamig.

hi gurls!

i did a little research and i just want to share them with you.

some article states that there are no known cause of cramping however i also read some causes of it..

REST cramp or Nocturnal cramps - is i believe what most of us experienced. it is the cramping at night that disturb our sleep.

causes
- electrolyte imbalances ( potassium, magnesium and calcium)
- overuse or exertion of the calf muscle
- cold temperature
- dehydration

Management
- try having a warm/hot shower before you sleep
- stretch your calf before sleeping or during the attack
- massage the affected leg to relax the muscles
- stay well hydrated through out the day
- applying cold/warm compress
- consuming potassium and calcium rich foods (sis, i recommend consuming it through food rather taking supplements. if you want to take supplements, consult a doctor. since these are electrolytes, imbalance of it can cause greater problems.)

check out the websites i read. just summarized it for you guys

for complete info --->

1. http://www.medicinenet.com/muscle_cramps/page2.htm#
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp
3. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/muscle-cramp/DS00311
4. http://www.americanrunning.org/displayindustryarticle.cfm?articlenbr=1776

if your experiencing it frequently and its more than 6mos, i suggest you consult a doctor. because cramping is also prominent in certain diseases.

i had my first cramps when i was preggy. i used to wonder how it felt like. darn! super sakit pala! mangiyak ngiyak ako e ang taas pa naman ng pain threshold ko! si hubby lagi nangyayari sa kanya yun kaya alam nya kung aling toe ang hinihila para mabilis sya matapos. hopefully that is the last time that i would have it.

sizzlingjess · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2009, 02:56:52 am »

i also read bout cramping during pregnancy

cause
- because of the increase weight.
- they may be aggravated by the pressure your expanding uterus puts on the blood vessels. ( related with your circulatory system)
- electrolyte imbalances
- and mostly same as the causes from my previous post

management
-During a leg cramp flex your toes towards your head (or do some calf exercise) and gently massage the affected muscle.
-massage the affected calf muscle
-warm/hot shower before you sleep
-eat foods rich in calcium and potassium
-be hydrated
-have a regular exercise- if not contraindicated - i suggest ask your doctor about the exercise you can do because pregnancy is individualized, some pregnant mothers (PM) are suggested to do limited activities than others. or some PM needs special attention and care.

> additional info - but if you notice that the pain persists and you really cannot tolerate it and you have a positive Homan's sign ( check this link for explanation bout Homan's sign http://www.cyberpt.com/homansign.asp )
you should consult a physician because it may be, maybe lang po ha, DVT or deep vein thrombosis.
