210400 tn?1325380570 I get them in my calves as well. I usually get them in the middle of the night and they wake me up. Just started this week. They are very sore today...felt like I ran a marathon. But I have been drinking more water lately....some days over 100oz. because of the BH, so I have no clue why I am getting them all of a sudden.

427279 tn?1210919821 What I consider cramps , in my toes. Charlie horse/cramps in my calves. I was having this while having muscle testing and the doc said it was spasms. Then there the spasms? I get in my ribs and back , which are much different then the ones in my legs. ?? Confusing I also get a burning nerve pain . I'll add a question if you don't mind . Many people talk about the ice pick pain in the temple/ear area. I also get this . Is this a spasm or what ??
Avatar f tn When I get them I either stretch my foot as far as I can, massage the muscle or sometimes I have to manually move my foot (with my hands) the cramps get so bad that my foot gets stuck in a bad position. As long as I can move my foot and stretch it, it usually goes away.
Avatar f tn Woke up with the worst Charlie horse in my life. It started in my calves and pain shot up to my hamstring. Also it caused me to have some contractions just in my stomach not back. I can barely walk cuz it's still sore. Anyone experienced this during your pregnancy?
Avatar f tn As soon as I feel a Charlie horse coming on I lift up my toe s and whole foot and stretch it straight up. Always stops them dead in there tracks !
Avatar f tn for about a little over a month now, during sleep, i awake with terrible pain stemming, from what seems to me, "charlie horse" cramps on both my calfs (both legs). this is now continously every night. terrible, terrible pain that awakens me. my choice of drinks is turkey hill peach ice tea. i am really drinking alot of this especially at night.
Avatar m tn You might want to see a doctor to have your potassium checked, it can cause the charlie horses. I was always told to eat bananas if I had a charlie horse. But like I said, you probably need to see a doctor to have your potassium level checked. It could be nothing, but it could be something. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Yes I wake up w them feels like a Charlie horse. Hurts so bad. Then my calf is sore for the next 2 days.
4093350 tn?1358096154 I woke up screaming! Charlie horse in my right calf. Scared the you know what out of my hubby! I had no idea what to do- I probably looked crazy! I was shaking my leg in the air and massaging it all while screaming! It only lasted probably a minute or less but felt like 5 minutes!! Its 3am and Im wide awake now... guess ill make a trip to the kitchen!!
Avatar f tn Two years ago, the problem started as what I thought was a severe charlie horse. That problem persisted and the muscles tightened to the point that my calf muscles both ripped. My legs were bruised from the knee down and I couldn't walk for several weeks. Once that problem healed, I didn't have any issues until this past month. The muscles started again with the charlie horse feeling and have been continually tightening ever since.
Avatar f tn I am having reverse cramps in my right foot. I have been really suseptible to charlie horse type cramps in 2 different areas of my feet for years. Since last night, my foot cramp under the two littlest toes has been going off like crazy and when I try to pull my toes up to release the cramp, the other cramp under my big toes goes off. WTF am I supposed to do with that one???
Avatar f tn I woke up to the most extreme cramp in my leg!! And somehow got a charlie horse in my foot!
Avatar f tn I had the same issue, Charlie horse every night for weeks till I decided to finally mention if to my dr. He told he to take calcium pills which helped tremendously.
193988 tn?1215023883 2 days ago i woke up in the morning stretched and had what felt like the worse charlie horse ever in my calf!!! you could actually see my muscle convulse .. well 2 days later it still sore to walk on and hurts if i stretch.. Should i worry??? anyone else have this problem?
Avatar m tn The various causes of foot cramps or tightening or painful contraction in the middle of foot are an over exerted foot poor foot circulation, lack of potassium, dehydration, pinched nerves due to electrical impulse from brain not reaching the muscles, alcohol or tobacco use, nutritional deficiency, etc. sciatica has been the previous culprit causing pain in back and thigh and leg cramps. This could be pinched nerve in the leg or foot.
Avatar f tn Yes the Charlie Horse! I used to get the badly with my first. Like wake up screaming, bad! I have a tendency to point my toes while I'm asleep, lately I've been able to catch myself doing it and like cislunardreamer said, I flex my toes upward, stretching out my calves before it gets bad.
5365989 tn?1394392790 I wake up everyday in serious pain from a Charlie horse. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Avatar f tn I am 37 weeks. For the last 3 days I have been experiencing Charlie horse like cramps on both legs, upper thighs/inner thighs. I thought maybe dehydration but it's consistent every night at the same time. What's going on?
Avatar f tn A lot of non-pregnant people get a Charlie horse because they are dehydrated. Try to get more water in you. And one thing I do when I have a Charlie horse is when I feel it coming on I stretch through it then massage the heck out of it.
7477421 tn?1398195693 Same for me its a potassium deficiency. Bananas are always what you think of first but they are not that high in potassium. Drink lots of orange juice, it's the best source of potassium. I've been Charlie horse free for 2weeks now! Blessed wishes!
