    Sad Camming Positions Causing Super Bad Cramps! Any Advice?

    Hi folks! As the title suggests, I've been getting freaking terrible muscle cramping since about a week after I started camming (I've only been doing this for about two months now) and I have /no/ idea what to do about it. Most of my privates want me on my knees, since I do mostly submissive, fetish stuff, and when I'm not on my knees I'm sitting crosslegged and sitting up straight in front of the cam chatting with the guys in my room. The setup I have for my computer basically has me on a (fairly thick and comfy) cushion on the ground, so I can't use a chair, but I'm not sure what other positions I can use to still be engaged with the guys in my room since a big part of my stichk is being bookish and vaguely proper (ya know, as much as a camgirl can ever be ).

    Mostly the cramps are in my calves and feet, which I think is because of the long sessions kneeling in private. Since I can't really cut that out entirely, because of the sub stuff, do yall have any suggestions for ways to help keep the kneeling from screwing me up so badly or stretches that I can do that'll help? The cramps are bad enough and long lasting enough that I'm waking up every morning, even after nights that I wasn't on, with foot cramps bad enough that I'm limping for the first few minutes until my muscles warm up so any tips at all would be super appreciated! Thanks!

    Icy hot, soak your legs and feet, take Tylenol, and massage them. Good luck

    Oooh, I've been there. I tend to be on my knees a lot too and it really starts to hurt after a while.

    Try to have your legs extended whenever possible. I know sitting cross-legged feels like a huge improvement after kneeling for a long time (I used to do that too) but it still doesn't give your legs a chance to stretch. So if you can, when you're resting/in free chat rest your legs in front of you. They don't need to be perfectly straight but try to make them as straight as is comfortable.

    I'm not sure how to get this across to your customers (I almost never sub so I just tell them I have to switch) but if you can find a way to get your weight off of your knees/legs when you first start to feel them cramping up it will be MUCH easier on your legs. For example if you're kneeling, your legs start to really hurt, and you switch to spread eagle for a couple of minutes then back to kneeling that short rest will be MUCH more effective than if you do it after your legs have been screaming at you for 10 minutes. Switching to different positions on your knees (like kneeling to doggy) will help a bit too but not nearly as much as taking the weight off of those muscles altogether for a bit. Also try to extend/point your feet as little as possible when you're cramping up--for me that was the big thing, when I was kneeling the top of my feet would be forced down (hard to explain but you probably know what I mean) and that would kill me after a while. So take any opportunity to let your feet rest in a natural position.

    You should see a doctor because there could be different things behind, like diabetes, parkinson, etc. If it is not possible, you might want to excersize more (if necessary) , take warm-cold showers, you can take magnesium or calcium or vitamin b12 (even better a vitamin b complex).

    I know what you mean about the knees! First of all, if you're in a long ass private and the guy wants you like that but doesn't continue to enforce it, you can always ask if you can please change positions for a little while.

    After those kinds of shows, which are usually longer than average, I take a bathroom break and walk around the house/stand up for 5-10 minutes. It is so important to take breaks!

    Two Aleve gelcaps work wonders and will hold you for 11-12 hrs. I crawl around on the floor all day when on cam and I'm also 44 yrs old so every joint aches when I'm done. Aleve helps alot! Good luck girl!
