      This happened when I was walking multiple times a day, on my weight loss journey. I’d wake up in the middle of the night and my whole leg, especially my calves, ankle, and toes. Everything would just lock up. Like a huge Charlie horse. I would stretch, use tennis balls, try to relax it. Nothing would work besides trying to walk off the pain, while holding onto anything you can because one of your legs doesn’t work. More, stretching, and more exercise helped them go away. Now that I started skateboarding again at 34, I’ve been having this issue with my left foot. My toes were completely curled in this morning. Probably be wise that is my pushing/stopping foot. Damnit…. That hurt.

    Better yet, kneel on the floor and put a roller under the ankle. Sit back down on your calves with the ball between your hamstrings and calves. Flex your foot twenty times. Move the ball around all the way down to your ankle area. What works better is a fascia release ball with lots of pokey things around it.
