Avatar f tn how much sweet feed can you feed a horse a day w/o causing any problems? we have several horses & they have started losing weight fast one has died. what else should we feed the ones that r looking skinny to prevent them from starving to death as well...they have plenty of hay.
Avatar f tn I get them pretty bad. Especially at night. I started eating a banana in the morning and then 1 before bed and that seems to help some. I think my restless leg is what brings them on still but like I said it's been a little better since the bananas.
168348 tn?1379357075 Good News. Her Pediatrician reminded me that since she got bitten through the clothing that the saliva didn't reach the wound most likely and puts her at a lower risk for infection, etc. So we'll have her seen for a look/see. It put a damper on her party .. such a shame, but in the future she'll never forget her 11th birthday huh?

Avatar f tn My husband got a Charlie horse in his leg and was making a HUGE deal about it!! His turned to me looking for sympathy and my reply was simply "labor!" And i laughed. He didn't think it was to funny but I sure did.
Avatar f tn As hard as it sounds to do, if you feel one coming on, immediy straighten your leg and flex your foot and hold. It literally stops one from happening entirely. Sometimes it's hard to get it there but as soon as I do, my cramp is gone before it even gets underway.
Avatar f tn How much worse are labor pains than a charley horse in ur leg? 10 x worse? 20? 100?
1807837 tn?1336098763 Hi I had a terrible accident a few years ago.A horse stepped on my upper leg full force,it missed the bone,but tore all the tissue.I never had the rest checked out.My question is could that have damaged the motor neuron,and if so what would happen?And like I said in another post i'm having tremors,muscle weakness,nerve pain ect.
Avatar f tn I'm 35+5 and two nights ago I woke up with the worst charlie horse . And my leg is still aching from well more like my calf muscle . only in my right leg.
Avatar f tn Its funny cuz right when it happens i have to jump out of the bed and just stand on it, it happens majority in the middle of the night lol
1299272 tn?1312476830 Its called a charlie horse. It means you need more potassium in your diet. If it happens get up and put your foot on the cold floor. Also this sounds weird but pull your bottom lip out and shake it. Sounds crazy but it works.
Avatar f tn I'm 29 weeks prego and this morning while stretching in bed I got a charlie horse in my left leg. Oh my gosh it was the most painful experience I had during this pregnant yet. Has anyone else experience a charlie house during their pregnancy?
Avatar f tn hi I am 31 weeks FTM and since 2 weeks ago my back,pelvis and right leg have been hurting non stop, I can't walk properly, can't turn around in bed easily and the only way to sleep without pain is with my maternity pillow (it is heaven)... I also had a prenatal massage, it was amazing but didn't help with my back pain.I feel like a broken grandma. My doctor said its normal, but she says everything is normal. Are you guys experiencing this too?
Avatar n tn My horse fell on my leg as we were walking up a hill. She fell with her legs pointed uphill. She rocked back and forth four times before I was able to get my leg out from under her. No broken bones, however the pressure of her weight broke my skin behind my knee. 25 stitches. My whole leg is covered with bruises. The accident happened 12 days ago. My calf keeps filling up with fluid. I have had fluid removed 4 times.
667078 tn?1316000935 My position was better, I pushed myself harder, and kept the horse in fluid motion. My halts were perfectly square. I also tacked the horse by myself and got on and off with out touching her with my leg. This from someone whose toe catches every floor mat and crack in the side walk. Life is truly good today!
Avatar f tn It's normal, legs cramping is common in pregnancy. In my last pregnancy I would get them so bad it was like a lingering charley horse. This pregnancy I've had them a trick I've found to help is if you push your heal down like flexing foot flat. Don't point that toe, for me my leg would charley horse and spasm.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me leg cramps are usually from being dehydrated! Try drinking a glass of water before bed.
Avatar n tn My daughter was in aaccident where she was on her horse and another horse broke free from his pasture, came over, and kicked her horse. Her horsethen ran into a tree with her still on it. She went face first into the tree and was flung backwards with her feet still in the sturrups.she has sustained both her legs broken, multiple facial and skull fractures, a brain injury and brain bleed .
Avatar f tn But the main problem is that it would be a high place to fall from, and some of the awkward ways we fall when we fall off a horse are really conducive to broken bones or worse. And horses are not very smart for their size, they can kick very unexpectedly if you are walking in the wrong place in relation to their field of vision. I knew a teenager who died from a kick to the stomach, and an adult (well experienced with horses) who died from a kick to the head.
9745005 tn?1410044366 m really hoping he will agree to another spine MRI, and on a stronger strength. The last MRI I had of the spine was back in December. I have such a strong downbeat nystagmus when my eyes are closed, that I can not keep my eyes shut, the force of the nystagmus pulls them open. It is freaky! It does not happen when I sleep, thank goodness! This is something that is new, within the last couple of months.
Avatar f tn Like she said drink LOTS of water and try eating a banana
Avatar f tn I love riding my husband got me a horse as a wedding gift, an she was kept at his grandparents ranch, after baby #2 his grandfather got very sick and couldn't take care of the ranch and we had to sell our horses and most cows, my heart was broken, i cried a lot, so my husband found us another hobby, atv riding, not the same but still fun, im guessing you know people who own horses, why not ask them if you can come over and ride a more gentle horse, or if you are willing buy or trade one of y
Avatar f tn Hi there, I was riding a horse and my foot got caught on a panel and the horse kept going. This happened 3 days ago. It's hard to walk. I have swelling and pain on the inner side of my knee. I can bend my knee approx 45°. When I'm sitting or laying down I can straighten my leg but when I'm standing I can't seem to straighten it. My knee cap feels awkward when I try to. When I stand up from sitting i get an excruciating pain and blood rush feeling through my knee.
8727253 tn?1400194561 Drink more water and eat food high in potassium.I had a terrible charlie horse one morning and decided to walk it off. Bad idea! My leg hurt for a good 3-4 days afterwards!
Avatar n tn About two days ago I noticed a bruise on my left leg, upper inner thigh area. Then a day later in gym class I notice about 5 other significant bruises on my inner left leg going all the way down towards the ankle. They hurt when I touch them, and I do not recollect doing anything that would cause this streak of purple bruises. There are no bruises on my right leg.
5944308 tn?1396478749 OH NO!!! Can't you give him a bit more time??? He will not eat at all?? OH My Heart is Broken..I really wanted to save this horse. I was willing to help in anyway as you know..So SAD..I just love my Animals..Oh but i have a mouse running around at night..I will catch him and let him go.. WAY down the road..lol Never get them critters at all because of the cats..this one is fast. Still SAD..My Prayers are for the Horse for sure..Tears.
Avatar f tn Omg!! I'm 23 weeks and on occasion while I'm sound asleep I get these charley horse like cramps on the back of my lower leg. It's happened on both my left and right leg. It is SO PAINFUL and the next day my leg feels sprained. I usually just stretch my leg out and rub it until it goes away but everytime it happens I just want to scream! Does or has anyone else ever experienced this? If so, what did you do to make it stop!?
