How do you blow out the arch of your foot? That sounds absolutely terrible.

Whenever I flex my calf extremely hard it creates a tension sensation in the arch of my foot...thats a charlie horse?

Do you you feel like grabbing your foot and moving it? Does it feel like someone is putting your foot in a vice and twisting it in the worst direction possible?

Mother of freaking god there is nothing more painful than these middle of the night charlie horses. I get them so often that I need to address the cause.

My calf muscles constrict in agony almost every night. I wake up writhing in pain at 3 am at least twice a week (on average, lately).

I bought postassium pills tonight because I am hoping there is a solution. It has happened most of my life sporadically. But the last year or so it has built up to the point that I am getting them almost every night.

I drink enough water, I can't stomach more than one banana a day...

My calf muscles are sore all day the following day too. It hurts so bad.

When I was pregnant and got cramps in my legs my doctor told me to take Dolomite tablets (calcium and Magnesium). Worked like a charm. Never had another leg cramp.
