Yep. I know all about standing up and putting pressure on the foot. I typically stretch it out too, which helps a lot.

Women think that they can just massage it away. They've tried that on me and it never works, it either comes back or gets worse!

No this works fine Froggy you're just not getting the correct location massaged!

Not that I'm sexist (!) but women rarely can get the right amount of pressure delivered through the correct hand position to the proper point unless they've been trained.

The banana thing is potassium - one of the "old school" cures. It still works, of course, but only if you have a K deficiency.

As long as it isn't every day you should be good to go.

Good lord. My legs are massive. If I had cramps in my legs every day or every week, I probably wouldn't be able to walk.

I know how it is - I'm kind of built like a T-Rex myself - thunder thighs, muscular calves and teeny-tiny little arms and hands waving around.

All those damned martial arts over the years ...

I was always the opposite, bigger upper body and scrawny legs and butt.

I don't know about small arms, but they are pretty damn short. It's very annoying too!

I didn't take MA, I weight lifted a ton, and set school/gym records

I know - especially when you want the box of cereal from the top shelf - it gets messy.

Ah, OK.

JUST KIDDING!
