Question: I thought I had a charley horse in my leg, but am not sure, please advise if you can.?
I was just waking up, only to be staring at my paralyzed deformed looking foot, I thought it was a charley horse, so I flexed my foot toward me thinking that would help, I even stretched my foot with my hand and it did not help. Suddenly, the pain increased, and my calve started cramping and it too became paralyzed, so here I was with a deformed foot, and leg sticking straight out on it's own. The more I tried to rub out the cramp, or stretch, the pain became extreme to the point where I was almost screaming in agony. I was going to go to the ER, but the pain finally subsided, after about 5 min. Has anyone heard of this, was it still a charley horse.? For those who read this, thank you, and yes I will inform a doctor of this as well.
P.S. I have researched the net already, and I can only find articles on charley horses, I don't think this is what is was, so maybe someone here will know, maybe.?.?Health Question & Answer
