Stretching (pointing my toes & all) before getting out of bed & got a huge cramp(i guess) in my calf ..had to physically bend my foot ! whatis it?

Cramp: Cramping can be from positioning during sleep. Also from electrolyes, so try to eat a banana or raisins. In the morning stretch before you get out of bed may help.
