I'm not sure if this is an injury....
Wow, usually I give advice, not get it. Oh well. Lately, in the mornings, I've been getting really bad charly-horses, in my mid-calves. You know what a charly horse is, right? Yeah, it's like a major muscle cramp, and it hurts RELALY bad. They last for like a minute and a half, and I can rub my leg and it feels better, but I don't know. Is there any excersises or anything I can do to help that?

try stretching before you go to bed

That just means you need more potassium in your body! eat bananas every day it should help!

Have you started like doing a sport recently? or have you just stopped playing a sport? because the muscles might be used to something and now your changing it and it makes them get all..well, you kno what i mean. try getting up slower and like stretch out your calves before you go to bed. charley horses hurt like CRAP i kno what you mean, lemme kno if you find anything that works good

ok I had the exact same problem all I suggest you is to not flex your muscle in your claves cuz it might give one to u by it's self and do alot of lef excercises it will help the charly-horse to get like reduced....when I got them I had a limp in my leg and I couldn't walk but my mom told me to always put my heel down to walk...and well also if you touch you leg while it cramps and it's hard it's cuz your leg muscles are working to hard and they're skising....lol...but yeah just stick with calve workouts or leg workous it'll do da same
hope I helped

Eat lots of potassium. Try having a banana right before bed. When you get one, keep your leg straight and point your toes toward your head. If you need to, use your hand to help. It hurts like mad for a second, and then it's over.
Try very gentle calf stretches in the evenings. Stand on a block or step with just your toes, and slowly lower your heels as far as you can. Stand flat on the floor and stretch your whole body straight to the ceiling. Sit flat on the floor with your legs straight in front of you and try to touch your toes. If you can grab them, pull them towards your head. If not, bend one leg, keep the other straight, and pull the toes of the straight leg back. Do all of this very gently and slowly. Hope that helps!

i get that sometimes in the morning... just like flex your foot or straighten your foot and it usually goes away.

maybe you should stretch really well b4 bed, and dont always sleep in the same posistion. that might work. if not maybe you should see a doctor.

You need some minerals. eat a couple bananas every day for a few days for Potassium. Drink lots of milk for calcium and Vitamin D. Spend more time in the sun to get more Vitamin D. And, also, when you get these charlie horses, take Ibrubrofen 600ml....you'll have to get em from the doctors office..
hope i helped:)
rate plz!! *aSh*

Well, it could just be the way u sleep, but if u drink alot and get some calcium in u then u should be fine, drink milk or go get some calcium pills.

I used to get them. Start drinking plenty of water and lots of fluids and get some calcium. Thats what my doctor told me.
