leg cramp

[Guest guest]

Sat nam everyone,

I have had a cramp in my calf for a week, making it difficult to sit

in cross-legged, and impossible to sit in Sat Kriya posture, even with

pillow.

(not to mention garden!)

I don't think it came from yoga, maybe from jogging - altho I do warm

up stretches, or maybe from gardening.

I've been told Potassium, so am eating 2 bananas a day, and to not get

dehydrated. I'm sure I'm not dehydrated, as I drink a gallon of good

spring water each day.

wondering if anyone has any advice.

 

thanks in advance,

kartar kaur

Sat Nam Kartar Kaur,

    First thing is to NOT be tempted "push through" this. It is most likely

a meridian, and at this point is giving you some pretty good info, if you

can only decipher it. Any extra stresses in your life of late? There is a

great book called "Acu-yoga" that can give one an  understanding of the mind

and how our thoughts and feelings influence our body system.

Dharam,

thanks for all your info. Esp about not pushing thru!

 

I agree- if anyone gets this affliction- do not.

 

I did keep doing the elevation set, thru the pain, and I don't think

that was helpful.

so today I only did those postures which did not involve my legs. But

I missed doing the others so I appreciate what you wrote i will try it

all, and ...

and very interesting about "Any stresses in your life of late?"

Cuz I had this pain for about 10 days - and I should not have ignored

it - but it was exactly as I was in my car on the way to work - that

Yikes, it went from painful to agonizing, excrutiating, "I can't stand

this."

so very interesting..

Anway I went to my doctor finally who gave me muscle relaxants. I am

back to only pain, and hopefully that will continue to lessen.

 

thanks for the references.

 

11 minutes huh? [grin]

I'll give it a shot!

 

sat nam,

kartar kaur
