Hmm...I think something may be be wrong

Lately when I've been having a weird occurance while sleeping. Well not really sleeping, you know when you're all nice, comfy, warm and just feel like stretching your legs when you're about half asleep? Well, when I've been doing this for the past week or so my legs go into severe muscle spasms! It's really painful and I have to then massage my leg muscles (usually just my calves) really hard to work out the knots. It's really weird, it's happened to be before, but not from stretching just waking up with it. I have also never had it night after night on end before, it used to be a very rare occurence. Should I maybe see a doctor about it?

Well people that I have talked to before about this say that it has something to do with there diet. I think it has to do something with lack of potassium(sp). So try to scarf down a few more bananna's. But when in doubt make sure you see a doctor.

Have you started a new exercise routine?
How often do you just, stretch out your whole body?
Have you reduced your cool down time recently?
As mentioned 'Electrolyte imbalance' is caused by too little potassium, and calcium. Furthermore there are way more 'common' reasons.
May I suggest a good strectch prior to bed. If this does not help within a few days, and you have no other physical reason to have this, then yes, visit your Doc soom.

Heard this before, it's part of growing up, normally nothing to worry about.

I get it from time to time, specially if I have been doing something strenuous the day before. It's fairly harmlesss, but may hurt for a while during the day. One good way to lessen the pain aafterwards is to get up and step on the foot and rub it for awhile. When it happens to me I almost get out of bed automaticly, without even waking up sometimes...

hmm, there are alot of reaons to have this, and as pointed out, it could be from excersise/diet/medical or other things. I would suggest seing a doctor regardless if you are concernd about it. I know someone who has the same symptoms you describe, and when they finaly tested her, they found out she has restless leg syndrome, it is not dangerous or anything like that, but basicly she kicks and fights in her sleep, and it causes her legs to cramp up.

Chris-this kinda thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I got muscle spasms when relaxing in bed, but the worst was I was sleeping one day, and then suddenly woke up at around 5am with this giant spasm, it was so painful. The scary thing was, it happened again the next day, at the exact same time!!! I was kinda freaked by that, but luckily it didn't happen the next day. It really is not nice.

MY advice is to cut off your legs and grow new ones. Of course, if pain persists, then please, ~~see your doctor~~.

Well, I don't really excersize much and I eat a fairly balanced diet as my mom makes us eat healthy, maybe it's what johnny said.
