Ya I know what you are talking about. I usually get them while I swim. I don't know whats causing them in you, but i could guess it would be eating a lot before exercising. But I know how to calm them down. Its pretty simple. Just grasp the skin above the section where you have the cramp and then just pull the skin out. It might turn red if you do it constantly, but it will relieve the pain.

Over the last few months my grip as weakened I also have muscle spasms and cramps regularly Can anyone please advise?
If this helps just one person I'll be happy. I began getting cramps in my legs and feet years ago, I've tried drinking more water, stretching and taking supplements such as calcium and potassium. Nothing seemed to work, and the pain was getting excruciating. At night my feet would go into such extreme spasms that my big toe would visibly pull away from my other toes. These spasms have lasted up to four hours at night, alternating from one foot to the other, and leaving me exhausted. The solution is a golf ball. Using a golf ball as a massage implement has helped tremendously. Sit down, put the ball under your foot and start rolling. I've found it not only helps the foot spasms I experience, but it also helps the leg spasms that I've suffered with for so long. I've also discovered that I can actually feel knots in my feet as I'm rolling the ball around. Your feet will be extremely sore for a couple of days after you use it the first time, but there will be a huge improvement. Don't forget to drink water, it's important. I drink a full glass around 6:00PM so I'm well hydrated through the night. Good luck!
