What to do when you get a leg cramp?
Try massaging the muscle. I got this from the net on how to deal with leg cramp. I don't know whether or not it will help though.
Try by stretching the sore muscle, do follow your instinct, cause your body will automatically guide you in the correct manner. Do massage the cramped muscle gently in the natural direction of the muscle. This actually helps to relax the contraction and ease the pain. Having a hot shower or warm bath is a good way to relax the muscle too. You could aslo use a cold packs on the affected muscle. This help to relax the tensed muscles. For a cramped calf muscle, try stretch and massage the leg by straightening it and pointing the toes upward, towards the head. You could also use a warm towel or heating pad to alleviate pain or tenderness following to a cramp.
