That Charlie horse got me waking up at night screaming 🙃🙄
I thought I was the only one

Everytime i wake up and go "ahhh my leg" and try to get up, the 2nd one goes too! So much pain lmao
Sameeeeeee
Same
Shout out to everyone with a Charley horse
Got it in my upper thigh hurts like hell
Same here. My right upper thigh. But it seems like the pain decreased! I felt a lot of pain July 1st and July 2nd.
Reaper same pain out of no where
Wes Mix bruh yeah the doctors were like ok bone cancer or auto immune come back in the morning if you have more symptoms and it just got better
i got one today 😂
Who having a Charley horse right now and watching the video or is it just me
Right Here... 🤕🖐🏽
Yup
Right here. I had to miss work because of the agonizing pain.
Me
Chile it just woke me up 🚮
If you have one, trust me just keep taking deep breaths!! It relaxes the muscles and lets go of the cramp
i had 3 really bad back to back!
Yes, deep breathing works!
GET TO THE POINT IM DYING
Bruh 🤦🏾♂️🥴
LaptopThugNSTG lol my leg was on fire 😂
Trigonthelitch mine too bro and they was just talking 🤣🤣 I’m like bro GET TO THE POINT!! 🤣🤣
I pulled this video up to help my bro
I read him your comment and now his crying is turning to laughter
Ahh wait....he is crying again
M Be my prayers are with him lol
My spasm got me during the night in my thighs. I cried. Stretch out my legs and it stopped. Very scary.. Thanks for your suggestions. Peace
Wait stretching it out works? It hurts so bad when I try to stretch it 😭
Man I experienced a charly horse so bad in my Lat/back area it literally felt like someone was stabbing with a screwdriver. It did this off an on today, caused so much pain. Once on my way home from work while driving a small manual 5 speed car. Because I could not stretch out I literally was yelling looking like a mad man in traffic jerking trying to get it to stop.
that's one of my biggest fears... good on you for making it safe home
lol mine was so bad I woke up in the night yelling. It was sore in the morning
When you're laying down and you get a Charley horse, quickly stand up and take a step or two around the room. Works like magic for me
Careful with that. If the spasm is due to dehydration instead of electrolyte imbalance, quickly standing up can make you pass out… though I guess if you’re unconscious you won’t feel the spasm pain lol
I’ve been too afraid to stretch them I just sit there in fucking agony for 2 minutes until they go away
Place your foot on a cool floor and it should go away.
This is one of my new favorite channels! Yall are hilarious and the information is great(: Definitely the most famous PTs in my view.
tonic water which contains quinine also helps a great deal
Lately I have had raging hamstring cramps at night twice if fallen to floor as they have hit in day they are so bad. I exercise alot and run I stretch...what can I do in the throws of a severe hamstring cramp and my labs are negative for low k and magnesium ...please please demonstrate how to relieve this as my screaming at night is traumatizing the dog. Thanks...love your videos! You helped me survive rotator cuff surgery...and recovery
Thank you for all your videos. They are literally life saving
I had the worst one yesterday morning and it still hurts 24 hrs later! Stretching, massage & heat has helped though
Yall im suffering with the tightest calf rn im laying on a heating pad😭😭
Pull your big toe back towards your knee and the pain instantly goes away.
I get em all the time, and was so grateful when my buddy told me this trick
I got one a few months ago on my right thigh , my whole muscle was contracting to one side , my Quad looked like it had a dent in it , I tried to take the pain but as soon as I moved my left hamstring starts locking and cramping up . And I drop straight to the ground next think i know both of my Quads , hamstrings and Hips start cramping bad I was in serious pain for 4-5 minutes but those minutes felt the longest minutes in my life , the pain was truly the worst pain I ever experienced. Idk if anyone gets them this bad but they aren’t joke .
lmao im a boxer and i worked out 3 times today and im experience the EXACT same thing rn
literally both my quads had dents and when i would move to relieve the pain another muscle starts cramping
Thanks a lot guys this is what I have been waiting for my husband.
When scrolling through my videos, I always look for Brad's blue shirt, I instantly know it's you two and watch the video. Thank you for all your effort to help people.
This is the best video I have ever seen
Thank u so much. These excersies really worked on me
I rushed here as fast as I could 😂😭
I’m on blood pressure medicine didn’t know it could of been the cause make me feel a lot better to know this thank you
you guys are life savers thanks
Hi guys, you should do another video about this very important information, just with a better sound. You are a great duo. Loved your videos.
Thank you!
Just found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question. I had low back surgery a few months ago, and I recently started physical therapy. I cannot understand the reasoning, but since I've started physical therapy, I started getting leg cramps and also (but just one night) a horrible cramp in one of my feet. My p.t. said that the cramps have nothing to do with my p.t., but that is when it started. Do you know what would cause cramps after doing p.t.? Thanks so much! Thank you, again, for sharing what you do!
Man I got this in my leg right now from basketball and I can barely move it
same bro😭😭😭
Hi do you have any videos for hip stretches and stretches for runners both pre and post workout?
Thank you
Worked like a charm 🙏🏾
You dudes always help me
Thanks

I'm suffering from lower back muscles spasms due to degenerative disc in lower back. I've had ims needling reccently and physio to help my core. is there any other advice for lower back spasms as the pain can be disabling. thankyou
Thanks for the information. I knew some of it before but now I'm experiencing hand cramps. That's kind of unusual for me so I had to check into causes again.
Gentlemen , your video help me a lot .thank you so much
My lower right back has a tingling tension help me!!!!!
It's a extreme pain, intense suffering, torture, unbearably distressing, the most severe one in my entire life..😣
Excellent performance.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Both feet, and calves at the same time tonight, the only thing left for me to try is magnesium. Had this problem since young when I swam. Now at night. My sympathy to all who go through this, may we all be healed from the waking up screaming in pain, yes I am desperate to find a cure for this that I am at my wit's end and am looking now on you tube for some ideas to help.
These guys are awesome
Dem Charlie horses be da worst when u catch em throughout sex 😭🥴
Facts
Just had one, 5 minutes later one went off in my other leg. Idk what to do its painful.
I’m insanely dehydrated and I got the worst charley horse I’ve ever seen in a game today.this really helped thank you.
How do you treat painful abdominal spasms that are triggered by laying down or sitting up?
thanks for the information will do before going to bed happy Halloween 👹
What about quad muscle spasms?
I'm not sure if what I had is exactly Charlie horse, but it really helped me when I rubbed a clothe over my leg after submerging it in hot water.
I'm in so much pain rn I had to run to yt😥
I can't hear the volume of you guys talking it's in and out you might wanna adjust the microphones unless it's my phone I don't know but I really find this information very helpful and thank you very much
I've had my Charlie horse abetted part of a year. It used to be both legs( behind the thigh). Now itss just one.
Why do oral contraceptives cause cramps?
I am having a mild spasm in calves that never stop. But they are enough to keep me awake.
I've been experiencing that since yesterday its non stop
How about hand spasms? Pretty painful, twisted and contorted, hyperextended. Can go up forearm . Do get those charley horses at night, the hand ones during day.
Hi guys, you helped me a lot when I had surgery for a herniated disc last year. I find I’ve now got tendinitis in my right foot and plantar facilitis in my left foot. I get painful cramp in my left leg when I’m just relaxing or going to sleep. The pain wakes me up. Do you think this is part of my original problem of the herniated disc?
Can you kindly direct me to a video you have already made that you think would help me please
I really hope you’re doing better . Or atleast maintaining. That’s tough. God bless
I had two at the same time last night one in my right calf and in my left foot they almost took me out! the one in the-foot lasted seems like 5 minutes
I got a lump from a Charlie horse years ago in my leg is there anyway to get rid of it?
Winds of change!
It is informative though but the sound is very low and please update cause its way back - 2015 and now its 2019. Also the writings across the post disrupted the visibility of the exercises
Please, I need help..I have injured my lower back back in 2013 & just had lot of PT & was ok for several yrs but all has changed..If I just twist or move wrong , here goes my lower back..Spasm I have never experienced..Sends you to your needs..I've been rushed to ER,twice already..Is there something I can do so I will not get these unbelievable spasm..Thank you..
What about stomach spasms contracting the stomach muscles?
This my first time getting one. Hello everyone else
The sound is terrible on this... I thought my headset was going out. lol.
Same I was freaking out because I have some expensive ear buds.
Yes and this is the one I have been looking for. lol
Not only I have cramps but I also have hearing problems!
I had a surgery on my neck last novemember.and since then I get this muscle cramps allover and some tingling sensation in my body and I keep wandring what that could be.I get numbness at times.help.
Could be panic attacks. Look it up to see if your symptoms match.
Nov 2021. Had 3 back to back felt paralyzed 😩, couldn’t move.
I was getting leg cramps a lot during a week so finally went to the doctor. Turns out I had very low sodium levels in me.
So this is the issue. In the mornings when I stretch I get a cramp like everyone else, BUT when I then try to pull my feet toward me, like in this video, to try to rectify the situation, MY feet get STUCK in that direction, and I cant pull it back down. If you think a cramp is bad, Have you ever been able to not be able to pull your feet BACK down AND have a Calf charlie horse at the same time? I literally scream in Agony from the pain of it all
I get them in my thy stomach hands face calf and back extremely painful
EXERCISE THEY DID SEEMED OK 4 SPASMS OF THE CALF . BUT WHAT IF ITS THE INNER THIGH R ADDUCTOR MUSCLE A?
I had a Charley Horse just before yesterday. (Upper right thigh) Yesterday, the pain decreased!
Charley Horse, (hurt like hell) It's no joke! It's not a good feeling at all. It hurts bad!
Love Jesus it happened to me again yesterday. I couldn’t walk on both feet for hours.
@@itsnando20
😯Wow❗Now that it has been 3 weeks, is it gone? They do not last long.
Stand facing the wall on tippy toes like reaching for something pressing down on toes it releases spasm good look
Propel helps too
Ive suffered from charlie horses repeatedly over the past 6 months. I work in a truck and dont get alot of walking in so my muscles in my legs atrophied by 10 lbs of an ablitlity to lift. Excercise is bring em back.... Stationary bikes do work.
Sore heels are still around
Relax your muscle voluntarily. And try sitting on your legs like squatting that helps A LOT. And touch the floor with one hand. Also once I got in middle of night I held my calf half folded towards my waist ( as much as I could hold around it) cramp went away. Try to go into the pain accept it, it goes away.
What about TMJ spasms?
Love your videos but the sound quality suffers. The volume is so low in comparison to other videos on TH-cam.
Thanks! We have updated our mics! Sorry for the inconvenience!
Tonic water ??
Idk if anyone kniws this. But i normally fix my Charley horse by just keeping my feet flat on the ground and legt 90 degrees to it and it always works
My cramps are on the side of my leg down to my ankles causeing the foot to turn inward and so painful that its hard to stand ..Will this same exercise work still work?
clarification prescription quinine sulfate not the tonic water
I use a fome roller
What about severe hamstring and Quad cramps, not just calf?
Can a orthopedic doctor help with leg and feet spasms? What kind of a doctor should i see? My leg have a throbbing feeing up and down then I get muscle spasms and scream. Its so painful.

Randomly I woke up and my forearms were like rocks, and super charley horse'd. Growing worse. I don't think I over did it at the gym. But yea, ouch.
I'm now dealing with Charlie horse and cramps
Forgive my ignorance but what is a Charlie Horse?
My nerve had a spasm 3 seconds ago and so I got so facinated.i just kept watching it jump lol I went to reach my camera and it stopped and then I hit it and was.like "DO IT AGAIN WAKE UP "
That happened to me but I was busy screaming in agony
im only 14 and i get the worst charley horses. im crying at night at least once every 3 weeks because of them it hurts so bad and then the same area that cramped will hurt for another week. its so unfair
Bruh I’m 14 too and I use to exercise everyday until Covid I stopped and got this one cramp in my leg it looked like 1 thing was tryna come
Out of my one leg. It was terrible
Electrolyte problem maybe? Could try a blood test, see how your magnesium, potassium is.
Thanks, but I have a muscle spasm in my back.
BRO I'M DYING HURRY UP
I’m pregnant and I’m having a charley horse right now and I’m trying to remain calm so baby won’t be stressed out
Baby's are very resilient. Take care of yourself and the baby will be good too :)
Ooo I was screaming n crying when I got mine
Oh no!
Moved to a dry climate from AZ. I am pretty sure this is the cause. I can drink enough water if I drank constantly from a hydrant. Have to sleep with 2 hot pads on my leg all night. Whoopee!
Stuck in the bath for 15 min can't get up 🔥🥲 still waitin
Bruh, I got hit with multiple first on right side calf, then on left + right side calf, then all above and right feet, then all above and biceps of both arm. So I did a 16 hours shift in sun without sleeping previous night
Dude I have two Charlie horses owww it hurts so bad
I’m on day 3 of dealing with a charley horse in my left thigh and left calve muscle. 😭
People expect it to go away in hours. It can LAST DAYS, and the helplessness, stress and even panic has to be put aside. Thx for your comment
My leg paralyses sometimes when I get it
I get a terrible charley horse in my right upper ab. I got one yesterday while driving and it hurt so back I had to pull over before I crashed my car. Please advise on this! 😭😭😭
Hernia?
@@mmccpl3934 not a hernia thank goodness or at least no protrusion
