Question:

Charlie horses in lower legs at night, Why? Any treatment for this?


Answers:

Charlie horses are usually caused by an imbalance of electrolytes. You can do a couple of things to help alleviate them. First, make sure that you are getting enough water to drink (6 - 8 oz glasses a day). Second, try adding more potassium to your diet (bananas or a potassium supplement). Third, try doing stretching exercises every day, even Yoga can help alot.

Good luck!
