No warning given. Just a slight leg movement and ..... CRAMP!!! Paralyzing. Muffled screaming. It hurt like hell. Like someone thrust a knife deep into my leg. A struggle to crawl over to the coffee table and solid support while I fought to stand. Stood there, bent over at the waist for several moments slowly stretching out towards a closer to normal standing position. Dragged the leg behind as I eventually made my way to the kitchen and water. Worried for a few minutes .... "What if this isn't any better by the time I depart for work in the morning? What if I never walk again?"
The pain, lessened than worsened, lessened than worsened!!! It seemed to extend itself from the epicenter, south to below my knee and north to my hip.
I recall words penned to an online newspaper page where some freakazoid was complaining about Lebron James (I think it was) once sitting out valuble minutes in a basketball game with recurring leg cramps. That he should just suck it up and get on the court and earn his millions. It's the playoffs by God!! That guy had no idea. Not even a masochist could play through this!
