Leg cramps? What to do?

I hate leg cramps, it's painful and normally it happened while we were asleep. You will be awake with a sudden pain. What to do to get rid of that?

I once heard from dono who, says when leg cramps, instead of lying down, quickly stand up and straightened your leg and it will go away quickly. I tried and it works. I google a bit and found out there's actually other ways to get rid of the leg cramps, besides straightening your leg, you can also try to walk on the affected leg, take a hot bath (by the time u take bath i think the cramp already go away lar. hehe..), massaging the affected muscle and etc.

and how to prevent it? Drink plenty of water during the day, stretch your leg muscles before bedtime and get adequate potassium in your diet. So try these when you have night leg cramps next time.
