Hi. OK, Some nights i get these staining feelings in my calf (i think it might be called a 'charly-horse' but im not sure) anyway i get them every once in a while like if i work out that day and i didnt stretch enough...but i havent worked out in like a week and i have been getting them a lot more than usual...i dont know why...they hurt so but, it feels like someone is trying to pull my muscle out, like i have to get up and stand on it or sqeeze it really hard for it to stop and there is still an after feeling and it even goes on till the next day....does anyone know what this is, and how i can stop them and how to make them feel better when they come....thanks!

That always happened to me, you just have to eat more potassium.(Its in bananas and orange juice) then it won't happen as often. (Hardly at all)

yup! Its to do with your salt intake and its very common. I can't remember though if its because you're eating too much or too less salt so you'll have to find out that for yourself! Other symptoms are also when you wake u p in the middle of the night with cramp in your calf.

hmmm well it's possible that your muscle could be unaligned... and so it's trying to reconfigure itself... it could also mean that you are growing.. maybe you should start stretching every morning also... if this goes on for a long time you should go see a doctor

I'm a runner, and my guess whould be you have shin splints....if you have an athletic trainer at your school, i would suggest telling them....Before you work out stretch well, ice them every night before you go to be thats VERY important....a heating pad most likely will not help...if it gets worse tell a parent or someone who can get you to a doctor....hope i helped!!
