Is any cramp worse than the one you get under your chin?

I've had all kinds of cramps. Calf, quad, forearm, etc but none of them compare to the under chin cramp you sometimes get when you yawn. It's the type of pain that has you making deals with God

Never had one under my chin (Not gay). But the cramp on the arch of your foot when you tense up real hard is the worst I’ve experienced

I forgot about the foot arch and it's terrible, right up there with forearm cramps but still a step below the yawning cramp

The next time this happens tilt your head up and look up at the ceiling and wait until it goes away, this will greatly reduce the pain.

That one has actually never happened to me. The calf ones absolutely make me teary eyed and making deals with God lmao.


Also those inside colon pains or whatever they are people get when they are holding a **** for too long... i remember i used to randomly get those when i was a teen and i was legit sure i had colon cancer or something and i was going to die

Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Dude... Up until I was 21 years old I refused to chit in public toilets. I even held it for a full week when I went to football and basketball camps where we stayed in dorms so I know exactly the kind of pain you're talking about lmfao. If you think a calf cramp is bad I hope you never get the kind under your chin. Chit is debilitating until it goes away

I've had triceps cramp in the middle of the night after a great chest session. That chit will wake you up REAL quick and you panic cause you CANT MOVE YOUR FKKING ARMS!

Triceps end up being rock hard and even more sore for a few days after, its terrible
I have found my gains again. Thanks Sam Adams

Ah yeah these are pretty bad, like a giant lump in your jaw.

The only thing that rivals it are leg cramps while laying down.

had this last year after 90 min football match in the sun, woke up in the middle of the night , both legs totally cramped up absolute fckn agony, always drink body salts replacement after matches now and go to bed with a hot water bottle on my legs to relax the muscle the night after playing.

had a couple of moderate ones since then but nothing like the first one, if the house had caught fire i would have died literally could not move WTAF

apparently pickle juice or a warm water with pinch of salt can help also

Lol you're my real bro. Haven't had this in years but it randomly happened 2 days ago. Fukked me up real good. Pain made me near hyperventilate but I still think calves are the worst for me.

Is the chin cramp you're talking about the one where it feels like something in your lower jaw/neck has slipped out of place and it hurts like a fukin bitch to swallow? Kinda by your lymph nodes?


If so, i've found the best way to get rid of it is to suck in your neck and pull your adam's apple down while looking up. IDK how else to describe it, but that's the movement that pops whatever is wrong back into it's right spot and fixes it immediately.

The cramp I'm talking about feels like it is right between your chin and Adam's apple. I've never tried to swallow when it's happened to me so I don't know about that. The best way to make it go away as quickly as possible is to look straight up so we might be talking about the same thing

might be the same. the location floats around there mostly, i feel it a bit more on my sides. but yeah looking up and pulling down my adam's apple always gets rid of it within a couple tries. try it next time

also seconded at foot arch cramps being a close second.

I'd like to enter another nomination. not even sure what location i'd call it...maybe pelvic? But I get it sometimes after sitting for a while, then when I stand up straight it feels like a muscle in my abdomen leading straight down to my penis or just above it is extremely tight with a sharp pain. takes a few minutes before it relaxes and i can fully straighten out my body without pain

Never had a cramp there but I can imagine how bad that would suck. Back when I was in college my roommate convinced me to go lifting with him and at this point I'd never taken lifting seriously and hadn't even been in a gym for a couple years. I did a bunch of weighted sit ups with a 45lb weight and just kept going because it didn't seem too hard. My abs got DOMS so bad I could hardly get out of bed for 3 days

One of the few things that has me more nervous than a cramp are random shards of glass. About 7 years ago, a broken glass was not cleaned up properly and I walked bare foot on the tile. Went up my heel, the pain was the sharpest and most excruciating of my life. Blood everywhere, and when I saw it I was starting to pass out. That one will fuk you up REAL good.

Yeah I’ve thought that if this is what getting your jaw broken feels like then I’d ****ing shoot myself if I had to endure it longer than typical cramp duration.

Also had this period where my abs would randomly cramp up, looked like I had a damn knot on my stomach they’d cramp up so hard. Again, all I could think was if I had a gun I’d put one in me just to end it lol.

lol yup. it's very similar to the DOMS, but specifically targeted in one location. would not recommend/10

calf cramps are another close one for me as well. was doing inverted rows on TRX bands once at the gym to finish off my workout. calf cramped, and i fell flat on my back in front of all the cardio bunnies. not my best gym day

THis is why I don't walk in anyone's house without shoes unless they request me to remove them a la Asian household. And why I don't walk anywhere in public barefoot. fukin gross
