Twinges
Every so often, maybe 3-4 times a year, I get a cramp just below and behind my left kneecap so bad that I wake up screaming (these have invariably happened when I am asleep). But yesterday and today, for the first time, that particular muscle has been acting up without actually inducing crippling pain. I went to bed very nervously last night, but I was fine; the gym yesterday and today haven't been a problem; but every so often when walking there's a twitch or a hint of pain. I once heard potassium is supposed to be good for this sort of thing, so I think I'll eat some bananas tonight.
As it is, I almost wish I'd get a full-on attack, if only because that means I can stop worrying about it for a couple of months at least.

That horrible, I hope it hasn't bothered you for a long, long time.
Although admittedly reading that "It mainly affects boys aged 10 to 16 years old" made me giggle a little.

it doesn't really flare up anymore, so it's cool. it destroyed whatever tennis career I thought I might have had though. And left an attractive huge bump on one of my knees. And I had a sex-change operation when I was 19.
