We’ve all had it happen. We wake up from a long night of partying, take a stretch, and oh no… Your calf starts to tighten slowly, there’s nothing you can do. You clutch your significant other, notify your next of kin, and the next thing you know you’re in a world of pain.
For years the “Charley Horse” has ruined early mornings for many with it’s painful cramp that feels like your leg is going to fall off…no longer as we found some cures online that are sure to help!
Wikihow says the easiest way to get rid of a Charley Horse while you’re having one is to elevate your leg and massage the calf until the cramp goes away.
Of course the most effective way to prevent them is to keep hydrated! Eat a banana after you get done with that bender! I feel like most of my worst Charley Horses came after a night of drinking, so if you can remember before hitting the sack, drink a glass of water.
