Chronically, kidney stones followed by gall bladder stones. Acutely, cramp anywhere in the leg.
For me the pain was similar at the peak, but gallstone pain would fade in and out, while kidney stone pain was unrelenting.
Gallstones made me not being able to sleep at all, paracetamol had no effect. Don’t know about other types of pain, but gallstones was the worst for me.
That just reenforce my decision to keep my unopened box of the good pain medication...
Got it on prescription after getting a wisdom tooth removed, but never needed them....
You now know how to instantly relieve a leg cramp, right?
Please, do tell. Cramp is annoying pain, because it tends to lock my leg up when it happens.
Stretch against whatever muscle is cramping. It's counter intuitive and sounds like it would hurt like hell. Instant relief.
I'll give that a try next time, thanks :)
Of course! You leap out of bed and stagger around the room whilst shouting, "Oh, god! Oh, christ! Arrgh!" The cramp eases off in as little as 5 minutes' time.
Stretch against the cramped muscle, push hard, cramp dissolves instantly. Weight lifter taught me that 30 years ago, figured everyone knew!
