drat, I hate getting cramps. I'm not even talking about like uterus haver cramps but just like when your loving foot decides it suddenly grew it's own brain and started contracting causing pain over and over until it mysteriously disappears as quickly as it came. Just wanted to share, post your worst cramps itt. Stomach cramps are even worse I think. One time I got cryptosporidium from a calf and I was like making GBS threads myself and vomiting at the same time, sickest I've ever been, and the stomach cramps were pure torture too. I almost went to the ER for fluids but I managed to get a med for nausea from urgent care before they closed and I kept that and a banana down and went to sleep and I was ok after that. Dang I hadn't thought about that experience in a while, it just goes to show, I really do hate cramps.

Yeah I don't even like working with large animals so it just made me hate it even more. Stupid cows. They're fun to watch and pet but if you actually have to work with them... it's like horses but stupider. The worst

Can't say as I've ever worked with a zebra. Zoo med is super competitive so the students mostly don't get to do stuff like that unless they go out of their way to take an elective or do some kind of externship. I would guess zebras have no choice but to be smarter since they're still prey.

I had no idea what cramps even were until I think like a few years ago. Suddenly, move the foot a bit weird and it just goes nuts and hurts like a motherfucker for a minute. Wild stuff.

I used to get cramps in my calves, the trick is to stay hydrated.

i used to work at a dialysis clinic and cramping was a real issue for patients during their treatment time. we'd keep jars of olives, pickles, and mustards in the staff fridge and give patients with cramps spoonsful of the brine or mustard, and that seemed to be very effective.

Yeah, pickle juice has long been a go-to for easing a Charley horse in my calf. The only problem is walking to the fridge in the middle of the night with the pain

You have to do the warrior sequence. Once you get it right you’ll start pulling on that…
Whatever. Google rhomboid pain.

Hey anybody ever think of taking hgh? Isn’t there some forum about drugs here? Like the TV IV or something? I don’t want to take much, just a little because apparently capitalism says that if I get old I can’t do work anymore and will become homeless and not a person. I hear if you take a little bit of that and dhea it will slow physical aging.

I've seen cows lined up into a cattle crush to get tagged or get their medicine. I've watched one poop right in anothers face. The cow started licking it's snout afterwards.

I used to get terrible calf cramps while I was sleeping when I was a teen. It was awful, entire muscle seizing up pain multiple nights a week. I eventually started waking up as soon as the process started, and realized if I pulled my entire foot up to stretch the calf out it would alleviate the worst of it, sometimes stopping it all together.

But yeah, I feel your pain. There were many days where I limped around because the cramp from the night before had been so bad my leg was still sore.

What loving sucks are back muscle spasms...HOLY poo poo that is the worst pain I've ever felt. And it's happened repeatedly since hitting my mid 30's. Really need to watch how I sit in front of a computer, I've discovered a few no no positions when spending time at my work on the computer. I can't lean or put weight from my upper body onto the counter or table surface anymore, 15 minutes of that will gently caress my back up the next day.

Last time it happened I felt my back spasm as I was carrying something above my head (it was raining) and I ran up some stairs...halfway up I felt my back spasm and the muscles started trying to bend ribs in directions that shouldn't. I have found a few minutes of yoga (snake position/stretch to folded leaf and back) and then a hot shower where I let the hot water slap my back while I do my best impersonation of a gorilla stance (knuckles and knees on the ground allowing gravity to pull my natural spine curve down) really helps me recover much quicker than just taking painkillers. I tend to get a knot right of center of my spine, under the shoulder blade.

I had my second dose of the shingles vaccine recently, and experienced horrific back spasms as a side effect. Six solid hours of feeling like an angry horse was stomping on my lower back. Enjoy your golden years, everyone!
