    Calf. Though raging bull would be a better description.

    Stand up, bend the non cramped leg out infront of you, lean over onto it with the cramped leg stretched out behind you, foot flat on the floor.

    This is what I was going for!! http://www.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=http://www.housegymnastics.com/howto/preparation/calf-stretch.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.housegymnastics.com/howto/preparation/calf.shtml&h=400&w=300&sz=9&tbnid=L8wx_vIGvg9TOM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=68&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dcalf%2Bstretch%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=calf+stretch&usg=__EpD6y70PI9TrrmEbSG184igPOCU=&docid=taHi1fKfZS3BxM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=MehPULqWD6q80QXU9IEw&ved=0CCMQ9QEwAQ&dur=346

    Works for me!

    If you get one in your thigh you just punch it til it goes away!

    Try stretching out your foot so your toes point upwards.

    I was gonna suggest punching it, usually works. Shake the leg like mad (it'll probably hurt but man the fcuk up) this works for a cramped foot so it'll probably work for calf.
    If that fails then do lunges or squats. Cramps are sh*t :L

    I'm no doctor but I used to swim a lot and was prone to awful cramps from dehydration (chlorinated water). Drink a tonne of water (preferably warm as it'll work faster). If you have any dioralyte handy definitely take that or any other rehydration salts type products you may have. God speed!

    I usually sit down on something, pull my toes back and at the same time, stretch my calf out dead straight. It'll hurt but it should sort it out.

    As you're already in the bath, why not run it and have a lovely hot bath to help you warm up and relax your muscles.
    Maybe get out to pee first.

    Ha, unfortunately one of the side effects I suppose! It'll take a while to rehydrate your muscles, just know you've taken the first step!

    This sounds serious I take it you have seen the homeopath and herbalist, I would suggest you take more vitamin C.

    You must have swallowed a spider the previous night. By now, it has made its way down to your leg and started eating you from the inside. All this stretching and exercise is only delaying the inevitable. Take pictures of your leg and savour the moment before it dissolves into a bloody mass right before your eyes.
