I see plenty of threads on localized cramps. Today after winning the first two matches in the 3.5 singles division of my first tournament, I had beginning cramps in my calves as the first match of my doubles division was starting. I pushed through it, and went down to the ground in the second set after the cramps spread through my entire legs. Very painful. They gave me a 15 minute reprieve, I came back pretty strong mentally minding the physical limitations and held my service game, but then went down again, this time much worse. Full body cramps. Abdominal muscles, foot muscles, every muscle that was inadvertently activated or otherwise started cramping. Eventually even my jaw muscles started cramping. Can’t think of a time my body was in worse physical pain. Laid on the court writhing in pain and screaming for like 20 minutes without being to move. Everyone tried to help and were wonderful. Had to withdraw out of both divisions after that (was a finalist in singles 3.5).
Never had cramps like this before. Anyone?
Electrolyte loss? My muscles were not sore or anything.
