Charlie horse relief

A lot of us are complaining about charlie horses.  I have found something that has worked for me and wanted to share.

I seem to get them in the middle of the night I wake up move my legs and I feel them come on.  As soon as I feel it I instantly flex my foot and it goes away.  Not claiming it works for everyone but hopefully it may help someone else.

Cheers to only a few more weeks to go!

    I do the exact same thing, and just hope to catch it in time. The next day it's lots of water and bananas.

    This is going to sound crazy, but I've been taking Bradley classes & the last time I had a Charlie horse, I just relaxed all my muscles and breathed through it. I swear the pain went down by 50% instantly! & was completely bearable! Definitely made a believer out of me!

    Flexing the foot works for me too but a few times I've caught it too late and had to wake up DH to get him to flex my foot for me because I couldn't. Having them several times a night just adds to the trouble sleeping.

    I do this too, especially in the morning when I'm starting to wake up and have the desire to stretch and point my toes!
