Question:
I got a painful muscle spasm, aka charlie horse, this morning around 6 am.?
It was in my left calf muscle and my muscle still hurts. Been hurting all day. Do you think it could have done any damage? Should I see a doctor?
Answers:
Have you tried stretching? I have gotten a lot of those spasms, always during the night, and they do hurt for more than one day sometimes. I find that stretching helps, and I also eat foods with potassium in them, like bananas, when I am having issues with that. They seem to help them stop, and if I am sure to eat them several times a week, they prevent the spasms.
