When I got my first charlie horse (muscle spams) in my calf, it was nothing unusual to me. Used to get them ever so often. You know the ones where your toes curl or spread out and you can barely stand on your foot and the pain is excruitiatingly painful.

My mom said she used to get these "charlie horses" really bad with all her pregnancies. I was prepared to handle those painful little attacks that happened once in a while. Well, this morning, I was in for a rude awakening.

I woke up this morning with an unbearable pain not in my calf, but one that went from one side of my ankle up to my knee and back down to the other side of my ankle, feeling like my entire foot was curling inwards. A charlie horse I have NEVER in my life experienced and man oh man, the words cannot describe how painful this attack was. And no matter what I did I could not lesson the spasms and I sure as hell could not stand or walk on the foot as it felt like my ankle was going to snap in half. I was in tears!!!

Anybody else getting these? I will definitely have to ask my massage therapist about this one.

Yep got exactly the same last week! Horrid! No idea why though! Your due day after me!

I'm getting them quite often. Not like yours though, mine are in my calf...they kill me, I have to grip my leg so hard to try and stop the pain, I have bruises on the back of my leg from how I've grasped it! xx

i keep getting the feeling in my foot as if my skin is too small for my foot and its going to rip?! really painful.

ouch..
i've just had the normal charlie horses.. which obviously do hurt really bad themselves.
but nothing like you described there.
hope that's the first and last time you get that!
