Last time I had one I stabbed it with Rebif. Last time.

Get them every once in awhile over the last couple of years. Just straighten your leg and take a deep breath-- it usually works for me. :)

I got them all the time in the begining and toe cramps. Much better now. I rubbed them out when it happened. Ususally happened when I watching tv.
Good Luck and hugggggggsssssss!

I get them all the time during the night (both calves) I usually wake up cursing. Everyone told me I needed potassium so I started eating bananas. Still didn't help. Then while reading one of my MS books it said it was a coomon for MS and was not due to lack of vitamin. I try to rub out calves before bed and stretch legs sometimes it helps.

I get them in spurts they last for about 3 or 4 days and I get like 6 or 7 a night. They hurt so bad and I kinda get relief if I lie on a cold tile floor, but 6x's is to much so I usually just try to rub it away. Good luck.

I just feed them some hay and send them back to charlie

Peace

OMG Fred, rofl, that was cute!! Yeah, maybe have your potassium level checked, and eat some bananas, it may be from the MS, or low potassium. Hope you get some relief soon.

yes, those suckers are PAINFUL. My sister is a doctor and she told me that Charlie Horses happen to an individual because he/she does not have enough potassium in their body. I used to get thos things when I was laying down, they would wake me up, but, they only lasted for, maybe, 30 seconds. But, make bananas your best friend if you get Charlie Horses. Good luck to you, and I hope this helps!-Lisa

I get them all the time, day and night, sleeping, walking, sitting, and in weird places like the front of my ankle or the back of my knee.

Three things that might help:
1. swimming or at leasting some stretching/toning in water where there is no impact but still some resistence (plus the water feels heavenly on sore legs!)
2. add potassium to your diet with tomate products, bananas, etc., or take as a supplement with calcium (helps it absorb better into system)
3. try sleeping with your legs slightly elevated or with a pillow between them - this keeps my feet from going numb for some reason

Finally, try doing some deep breathing and stretching before you lay down. Releasing as much tension from your body before sleep is always good.

I had a horse named Charlie once but I sat on him No more Charlie .
I take a muscle relaxer called BACLOFEN .I also eat a bannana a day. The pill works but it makes it hard to wake up .
