Sprained Ankle While Sleeping?

[flowerbug]

here's another sleeping problem that some people have. leg cramps. Mom used to get these almost every night. we found out that for her the trigger was too much sugar.

once in a while i'll wake up in the middle of the night with a cramp in the middle of my foot.

I've woken up to a foot cramp so many times. Potassium chloride with water before bed and no more foot cramps.

Have you met my wife?

She's gets injured while sleeping too?

 

[JanetMarie]

I have not felt like I sprained anything but physical work that I had done the day or two before does haunt me after a night of sleeping sometimes-back, legs, shoulders, you name it!

That's what I wondered. I've been working outside a lot, and maybe just a strain on the joint. I was digging sod up a few days ago.

Is it bad if I laugh? I have so many friends with EDS and this would have us rolling

Yes, we chuckle too. The hypermobility/EDS thing is what she has. I couldn't recall the terminology when I posted.

Never a dull moment

I tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder badly while asleep. Weird things happening in sleep is quite possible

Glad to hear it is better @JanetMarie

Thank you.

this isn't an injury during sleeping thing, but somehow when weeding a garden sitting on a ground pillow i tore a tendon in my leg which has never fully recovered. i managed to do this just a few days before vacation when my sister and her partner were going to visit so the whole time i'm limping around. i can walk and i can get things done, but i'd never trust myself to having to do a fast run to get away from a bear or to chase the ice-cream truck (i can't even remember the last time i heard or saw an ice-cream truck)...

i have been known to sleep on something wrong (shoulder, back, arm, knees, etc.)... also sometimes sneezing i can put my back out of place.
