I woke up twice last night with a charlie horse...?


Question:
How come - what causes them? Whats a good way to prevent it from happening again? How do I quickly make it go away? And how come my leg still hurts, 3 hours after the last one?

Answers:
Charlie horses are caused from several different things. the best way to prevent them is to raise your potassium intake. eat lots of bananas and maybe cantaloupe too. do some stretches before you go to bed and during the day drink plenty of water. the reason it still hurts is just like pulling a muscle an ice pack is what i would recommend after. if it continues there are prescription meds for extreme leg cramps you might want to see you doc. but first they will recommend what i just told you. hope this helps!
