Man I experienced a charly horse so bad in my Lat/back area it literally felt like someone was stabbing with a screwdriver. It did this off an on today, caused so much pain. Once on my way home from work while driving a small manual 5 speed car. Because I could not stretch out I literally was yelling looking like a mad man in traffic jerking trying to get it to stop.

[@108titan]

that's one of my biggest fears... good on you for making it safe home

[@catherineb5066]

Lately I have had raging hamstring cramps at night twice if fallen to floor as they have hit in day they are so bad. I exercise alot and run I stretch...what can I do in the throws of a severe hamstring cramp and my labs are negative for low k and magnesium ...please please demonstrate how to relieve this as my screaming at night is traumatizing the dog. Thanks...love your videos! You helped me survive rotator cuff surgery...and recovery

[@juneyah3784]

My spasm got me during the night in my thighs. I cried. Stretch out my legs and it stopped. Very scary.. Thanks for your suggestions. Peace

[@blackrosalina]

Wait stretching it out works? It hurts so bad when I try to stretch it 😭

[@rafee7866]

tonic water which contains quinine also helps a great deal

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

I had the worst one yesterday morning and it still hurts 24 hrs later! Stretching, massage & heat has helped though

[@HPmarioPKMNdisney]

When you're laying down and you get a Charley horse, quickly stand up and take a step or two around the room. Works like magic for me

[@DefinitelyNotAFerret]

Careful with that. If the spasm is due to dehydration instead of electrolyte imbalance, quickly standing up can make you pass out… though I guess if you’re unconscious you won’t feel the spasm pain lol

[@Nicole-uk4kr]

I’m on blood pressure medicine didn’t know it could of been the cause make me feel a lot better to know this thank you

Pull your big toe back towards your knee and the pain instantly goes away. I get em all the time, and was so grateful when my buddy told me this trick

[@markmem1234]

Earlier I was on my way home from work , I skipped lunch and was working hard to finish a project. I felt horrible on my drive home stopped at McDonald’s and couldn’t even eat but yet I was starving. I pulled my boots off and turned the ac on my feet to cool off. When I went to put my boots back on my left leg cramped so bad on the back of my calf. I couldn’t move my legs ankle or toes. I reached down a moved my toes back and forth and it did let up. You might be on the something. It definitely was caused from dehydration

[@al1383]

@@markmem1234 If it's a muscle spasm in your calf muscle pull your big toe back. And eat some bananas

[@markmem1234]

@@al1383 yeah I looked more into it. when you pull your toes it moves the muscle on the front of your leg you brain will automatically release the back calf muscle and moves the front one

[@kevalvarez671]

I got one a few months ago on my right thigh , my whole muscle was contracting to one side , my Quad looked like it had a dent in it , I tried to take the pain but as soon as I moved my left hamstring starts locking and cramping up . And I drop straight to the ground next think i know both of my Quads , hamstrings and Hips start cramping bad I was in serious pain for 4-5 minutes but those minutes felt the longest minutes in my life , the pain was truly the worst pain I ever experienced. Idk if anyone gets them this bad but they aren’t joke .

[@Leon-bt7gw]

lmao im a boxer and i worked out 3 times today and im experience the EXACT same thing rn

[@Leon-bt7gw]

literally both my quads had dents and when i would move to relieve the pain another muscle starts cramping

[@elizabethwilk9615]

I’m insanely dehydrated and I got the worst charley horse I’ve ever seen in a game today.this really helped thank you.

[@leonwolf9592]

[@maryannbritz1061]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Both feet, and calves at the same time tonight, the only thing left for me to try is magnesium. Had this problem since young when I swam. Now at night. My sympathy to all who go through this, may we all be healed from the waking up screaming in pain, yes I am desperate to find a cure for this that I am at my wit's end and am looking now on you tube for some ideas to help.

Why do oral contraceptives cause cramps?

[@catsebn927]

Just found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question. I had low back surgery a few months ago, and I recently started physical therapy. I cannot understand the reasoning, but since I've started physical therapy, I started getting leg cramps and also (but just one night) a horrible cramp in one of my feet. My p.t. said that the cramps have nothing to do with my p.t., but that is when it started. Do you know what would cause cramps after doing p.t.? Thanks so much! Thank you, again, for sharing what you do!

Place your foot on a cool floor and it should go away.

Thank you

I rushed here as fast as I could 😂😭

[@tanya79c]

I literally just came on here to let someone know the relief I just experienced! I get Charlie Horses for absolutely no reason sometimes while I’m laying down and I guess I moved the wrong way lol. One Solution I’ve read is to massage the muscle, which does not work for me because it makes the pain worse. The quickest resolve for me was to quickly stand up straight, making sure to keep my heels all the way down to the floor and bend down as much as I can with my arms hanging low. This worked for a long time, however not as successful nowadays (maybe age is a factor). I read another solution about applying heat to the area which I like because I believe thermal therapy is amazing but did not feel like looking for my heating pad due to the pain I was in, so I decided to take a hot shower (not too hot of course but just enough. The pain was gone in less than a minute or so especially after letting the hot water just run down my legs. Such a relief! Pain-free and clean at the same time! What a win-win!😅 hope this helps for someone!

So this is the issue. In the mornings when I stretch I get a cramp like everyone else, BUT when I then try to pull my feet toward me, like in this video, to try to rectify the situation, MY feet get STUCK in that direction, and I cant pull it back down. If you think a cramp is bad, Have you ever been able to not be able to pull your feet BACK down AND have a Calf charlie horse at the same time? I literally scream in Agony from the pain of it all
