I am a teenager and I always have really painful leg cramps in my calf muscles, particularly at night. At ideas as to what this could be?

Question

I have looked at some info online which was talking about not drinking enough while exercising or exercising in warm weather but I get these aches in my calf muscles every night, regardless of what activities I have done. The pain sometimes extends to my toes too. There is an occasional stabbing pain but it usually just aches basically all night, although I rarely get them during the day. Help?!

If it's persistent and getting worse, ask your doctor about restless leg syndrome.

Strange, I had this too for like a week and I dont exercise at all. It could possibly be growing pains.

You're depleting the electrolytes that make your muscles release. You need more potassium and magnesium in your diet. Eat more bananas, grapes and grapefruit. Also, you need to be sure that you're drinking enough water.
