I've heard eating bananas are good for preventing charliehorses. Maybe try a heating pad on calves at night, and/or handheld massager? Good luck.
@ peggywlls are you taking bacfolin
Yes magnesium and my Mom suggested I eat a banana a day to help it does help me. Still get those Charlie horses but don't seem be as bad or leave my calf as sore! Oh and rubbing alcohol massages on calves helped me too. My Mom has had a stroke and her nurses suggested these to her
Magnesium everyday reduces the spasms and Charlie horse. Also try a shot of pickle juice. I've not tried it but athletes use it for cramping. X
I wanted to tell you when I started the baclofen it was 1-2 aday but takeing 8-10 a day now the limit befor maybe a pump you have to take or should take every 4-6 hrs and though the night
