#calf cramp

[deebrisbyfish]

When I stared writing this gag, the original idea was to draw a dream that would be ended by a leg cramp. I've had recurring, terrible cramps in my calves ever since I used to walk to school carrying my insanely heavy portfolio and bag while at the Kubert School. They started then and have never really let up. Then I had the idea to make the dream a stress dream, since that's been a running theme of late. In a perfect world where there's enough of a demand for this strip to run 2 or 3 days a week, this core idea could have filled up a few strips. (Help make this happen by supporting me on Patreon... hint, hint!) On one level, there's the stress dream of needing to pee and only finding toilets in INCREDIBLY AWKWARD places. This one with the intersection happens to me a LOT, honestly. (With a number of variations on the visual shown. lol) Honestly, the only thing that's a 100% cartoon invention here is the inclusion of the "toilet shark" to bring the cramp into the dream a little. In reality, they just happen so fast that I'm woken up without warning by them. And yes... the punchline HAS happened at least once. lol

Hey y'all! Weird question time, this time about muscles, so if discussions of cramps, muscle knots, or muscle spasms bother you don't click the read more (warning because my sister gets really grossed out by thinking about blood or muscles)

So I remember I asked y'all about the difference between muscle cramps, muscle spasms, and muscle knots a while back, but I can't remember if I asked how common it is for people to get muscle spasms? Like, specifically, I am thinking about the kind of muscle spasms where it's not painful, a chunk of muscle is just twitching on its own. Is that like a happened once kind of thing for you, a once in a blue moon kinda thing, or a several times a week thing? Or never? (I almost forgot that as an option) Also, have you ever had muscle knots bad enough that moving the limb they are on the wrong way makes the whole limb shake? I'm assuming that's just the muscle knot pressing on a nerve, and it wasn't painful, but it was weird

Almost forgot to mention, asking these questions in the context of no injury to cause the muscles to react, just like an everyday kind of thing (I have been checked for several different muscle, nerve, and neurological issues that could affect muscles, and every doc agrees it's just the electrolyte issues caused by me being sodium georg, so I'm okay I'm just curious)

[schrodingers-romy]

I hate when my body hurts as a result of my actions. Stop that.

Brother, it’s so humid outside that even during 70 degree weather, both my calves started cramping after two and a half hours of ultimate frisbee even after months of conditioning my body to the amount of running frisbee entails.

[verifiablebot]

pulled the trigger on a standing desk today and i'll be picking up a walking pad soon as well. i am trying not to think about how much both of those things cost

i think insurance should cover shit like this, considering my only other option is pain and subluxed ribs from shrimping so hard to keep the weight off of my hips

[divorciada]

me when I find the CEO of period cramps

[transfaguette]

anyone else sometimes wake up and your legs are like this for some reason

Easter is my take it or leave it holiday. All we do is get together, make a ham and I make the bunny cake. I would have rather spent the day at home relaxing (and letting my tattoo leg rest) and decompressing. The only part of Easter I loved was searching for Easter eggs, and as we are now “adults” that doesn’t happen any longer. But I’m ending the day back in my cozy clothes, glass of wine and a bowl of pho. And trying to keep the Sunday scaries at bay.
