I start a big work project in the morning, and woke up 2 hours ago with a devastating leg cramp.

Yayyyyy :/

Heat. I get them regularly, and heat is the quick fix. I have a heating pad within arm's reach. The moment I realize it's happening, I plug it in and wrap the muscle (usually the calf) and put it on the highest heat. Every single time the cramp goes away just as the heat becomes uncomfortable, and you can shut it off and go back to bed.

I used to get cramps that would last hours and I'd limp for a day. Since the heating pad - 5-10 minutes, back to sleep.
