YouWish agony auntI used to get charley horses, especially in the morning when I've stretched. It literally feels like you're tearing your calf muscle in half, and the pain is excruciating. I went to my doctor about it, and he said that it was all about dehydration for me. I really started cranking down the water (not sugared drinks or alcohol, which will actually leech more water out of your system. Same with caffeine, which is a diuretic), and I haven't had one in a few years.

They're awful. For about 5 minutes, you want to scream. Then you're limping around for a day or two afterwards with a poor, traumatized calf.

Cramps during sex are just like cramps in any other kind of activity that strains muscles if you ask me. A lot of people recommend eating bananas for the potassium. I'm not 100% sure of that being the root cause but it always seems to help me. As someone else already stated, dehydration is usually the largest reason. I'd suggest drinking half a gatorade and drink a gallon of water per day for a few days to get fully hydrated. Also, get those legs stretched out! Drinking water and stretching will get those muscles open to blood flow and will help tremendously.

'Charley horses' is this the same as pins and needles? Or just muscular cramp. Sorry I don't know what 'charley horses' mean?

YouWish agony auntWell, since I am not a doctor, I can't answer that one definitively. However, most true charley horses are brought about by dehydration and/or a lack of nutrients.

Tell your fiance to drink a lot more water and take a daily multivitamin. If that doesn't help, I very much recommend a trip to the doctor.

I'd recommend speaking to a doctor about this one. I've witnessed people getting Charley Horses in everyday Asexual life and it is A Painful Sight... very disturbing; get him evaluated, please.

Hi!

It could be a blood flow issue and circulation. Exercise can help that greatly.
