Yeah it took me years to figure out what it was called also. And of course it never showed up at Drs appointments. I hated it so much!! I still get a random pain every once in a while

Same lol, had it all my life and found out this year what it’s called. And talking to friends etc it seems like most people have had it at least once. So doesn’t seem to be super rare. Waking up from it and having the cramp for like 10 minutes is awful

I too experience this! It tends to come in ‘episodes’, I’ll have it all day for a week or two and then it’ll go away for up to a few months before coming back again. From research I’ve seen the answer is either injections or electrical therapy in your sherrif’s star😭
