That's when you stretch it out more and face your fears

i've dove into the cramp saying fuck you to the universe, and i've tried to ignore it, and i've tried to hyperventilate through it, nothing makes it go away any quicker

Tonic water. The sharp bitter tricks your brain. Added benefit if you find a brand that still has quinine, as quinine is proven to have a preventative effect on cramps over time.

Note that doctors consider quinine dangerous due to other issues

Friend came limping over one day. Our other friend watched him rolling around in agony for almost 20 minutes.

"Dude! You can stretch it and it goes away instantly!"

That's for a normal cramp. There are cramps that stretching does not help and you're just going to be in pain for the next 3 to 5 days.

Those are the fucking worst.

Yeah for the unlucky some of us when a cramp hits, nothing helped. Fuck I've even tried running up and down stairs at 3am. Doing full stretches etc. Turns out good chance you're low on magnesium or potassium or maybe Manganese? I don't remember but the wife shoves one of the 3 in my mouth when she's had enough of my whining and I'm good for a while with no cramps at night.

Just shove all 3 in your ass before bed each night and you’ll be good to go my guy

Uhm, no, sorry, I'd prefer being able to move my legs during the day.
