I- perhaps wrongly- assume that when this happens it is a poor hydration day, not enough to eat, the like. But it is indeed brutal.

Turn my ankleto the right, spasming. And not a gentle one (if there is such a thing) but my foot will feel like it is folding into itself and if it is in bed there is enough noise there are twp of us working it out.

I think it is hydration related for me because it happened more in the summer and when it happened this past week it was milder and I was able to halt proceedings before they got too far with cessation of movement and massage.

When my legs are in a bad was the epsom salt lotion comes out, though.
