I'm not sure what causes them or why I get them, but I've been a prime target for Charlie horses lately! A few weeks ago, I got one in each leg, a few days apart, so I was waddling everywhere until the stiffness went away,
and yesterday, just as I was drifting off to sleep, I got a nasty on in the arch of my right foot! YYYEEOOWW!! And just when the pain was subsiding, WHAM! Charlie horse #2... in the same spot, of the same foot!!
My fiance thought I was having a seizure!
I take a multivitamin and a calcium supplement every day (family history of arthritis and osteoporosis), so I don't think it's a mineral deficiency... I'm lactose intolerant and I suffer from IBS, but I doubt those have anything to do with it either...
