Hi Sheri,

I found that the stretching I did before I went to sleep had an entirely different effect than that stretching that causes leg cramps once in bed. I don't know why but that's my experience. And I found the worst ones were not the ones in the toes and calves but in the thighs. At least with the calves and toes, you can walk them out. The thighs feel like knives cutting you - you cannot possibly stand up straight with that pain.
