Answers: some times I wake up in agonizing pain (tightening cramp) in my leg/calf

I have heard it is lack of potassium. In fact my friend takes potassium pills to relieve those same kind of muscle cramps you are describing.

Calcium deficiency; muscle cramps and twitches, high blood pressure, poor blood clotting time, etc.

beer doesnt cause charlie horses lol.

YOU ARE HAVING THE MUSSEL TO KNOT UP
It's due to defency of calcium in your bones.
when it starts,get up and force your self to walk
around the room till it stops If you have a cane use so you don.t fall..

It is lack of potassium. Before I get one I can feel myself moving into a horrible Charlie Horse. I've avoided it a few times.

To relieve this pain immediately, bite your top lip and relax.
I'm not kidding. I suffered from these everynight for a few weeks before eating more bananas for the potassium.

If you get one you should bite your top lip (or put pressure on it) and it will subside almost immediately.

I honestly could not get up and walk around to get rid of it.
When I get them I can barely move, ha.

Sorry =( I got those while I was pregnant...and they do hurt.

Id do what the Dr person said...bite your top lip and eat more naners =D
