So I've been having the same Charley Horse just about every single morning right when I wake up. It is in my right calf. I drink plenty of water, take potassium supplements. The Charley Horse I can stand but now I have this pain that's tender to touch. It does not bother me while walking or exercise at all only if it brushes something or like i said if I touch it. It's about the same area on my calf to the inside of my leg near my knee. It almost feels bruised!
I can't see a doctor right now, just checking to see if anyone can relate and any other suggestions to prevent the charley horse all together. I stretch alot too so im at a loss.
Thanks in advance for any input!!

Maybe raise the priority on getting in front of a medical doctor.3 -
Try this stretch every single hour for no less than 30 seconds.

^^^ this.
although when I went to the clinic for a similar problem they did some tests based on a googled checklist (measuring the difference in size between legs, pressing in on the area) then sent me away and told me to take some paracetamol for the pain for a few days and come back if it didn't go away.
It went away.0
