straighten it out and massage it, those things suck.

yes, eat more bananas and drink a lot of water.

Charlie Horses are caused by a build up of lactic acid in the body, you need to drink more water and drink less dairy products!

if it is a charlie horse, then it should be in your calf. If this is what it is, then just take off your shoe and flex your shoe, it will hurt at first (duh), but it will kill the pain almost instantly. being a rower, your experience alot of muscle cramps. eating more bananas will help a bit with cramping, but i only get cramping in my feet, so yes, eating anything with potassium would help.
