I get Charlie Horses frequently. I just up my banana & potato intake and it gets better. Never fully goes away.

I wish I could give more advice.

I read an article in Fibromyalgia Network about leg and foot pain. They suggested putting a pillow at the foot of the bed so your feet remain upright. It really did help.

Is your calf pain all the time, in the day and at night? Or just at night? Have you had your blood potassium level checked? Is it worse during a flare up? I have to have IV potassium four times a week due to severe low potassium levels. I don't absorb potassium pills or foods rich in potassium. When I am in a severe flare up my muscles of the entire legs and arms will be stuck in a constant state of spasm. Leaving me dragging one or two legs, and one arm. For that, I am given IV Glutathione which works great for me. I can be bearly able to function and after 2 doses of IV Glutathione I am back to normal walking. I know that alot of people now take the oral form of Glutathione, it never worked orally for me. I had also tried IM Glutathione with little relief. Hang in there Shirley, you'll be in my thoughts.

YES, all of a sudden I am having pain in my ankle and I don't know why at all. It's very frustrating. some days it hurts to walk on it and other days it doesn't. Now I have also develped pain in my inner left knee and I don't know what that could possibly be. I don't jog or misuse it. Fibro is so mysterious.

just like grammy bear sometimes i feel i broke my ankles ,i have trouble walking and the next day it's gone but then it happens to my wrist too, i usually ice it or take painmeds if it decides to stay longer.Hope you find relief.

I frequently have calf pain and shin splints. I noticed that changing how I walk/run (mid-foot instead of front-foot, if that makes sense) seems to help a lot. I also have low arches, so that might also explain my issues.

Do you have any foot issues?

I try to be gentle with my legs - stretching, yoga, wearing the right type of shoe, etc., and it does help to improve the pain. However, it never completely goes away. For example, I am very aware of it today because my legs feel overworked, sore and "tingly".

Perhaps you should take a look at your shoes, and maybe even look into seeing a podiatrist or a PT, and also get your potassium levels checked.

I hope this helps. :)

Maybe its just restless leg

front of your calf? probably fibro!

back of your calf? If this is a new symptom, you just might want to let your doctor know...he may want an ultrasound of your calf to check for possible blood clot.

I've just recently been having severe pain in my left ankle and I can barely walk. Time for an x ray I think, next week.

The back of your calf is a common place to get trigger points. I have a golf ball sized one that I have to massage to try to get released and occasionally get injected.
