Don't know why I've not asked here before. If anybody has any thoughts on this I would LOVE to know!
Ever since I can remember I do not get regular cramps at TTOM (well, I did in high school but that was a long time ago). Instead, my calf muscles got SO TIGHT that it is unbelievably painful to walk. No matter how much stretching or yoga or walking uphill I do, I cannot for the life of me get them to loosen up. And they get physically bigger. I have asked by OB/GYN and he says the hormones that cause water retention focus seem to on my gastroc -- suggested I take asprin to reduce swelling. That does nothing.
But now, as I get older (I'm 45) I'm getting this not only at TTOM, but also around the time of ovulation. And darn -- it just HURTS. I know it's weird -- any thoughts?
