CHARLEY HORSE

It actually woke me out of my sleep :'( All I done was stretch my leg to change position and it froze. The cramp was so bad and I was unable to move my leg from the knee downwards for about a minute. It was such a scare.

Eat more bananas:) i started getting spasm cramps in my legs when i would stretch in bed. I researched it cause the pain was horrible and my boyfriend is a fitness expert so it came down to maybe i was lacking potassium..ate a banana a day and stretched before bed and the charley horses have left the building

Now that they've started, it may happen every night. Trust me on this, when it starts, just lay flat and bring your toes like towards you it'll stretch out your calf, instant relief works everytime
