Pamela,

 

I don't know that anyone here can give you much info other than to direct you to your doctor. This could be anything including something as simple as a calcium deficiency, or it could be more complicated. Nobody can diagnose via the Internet.

 

Please see your doctor.

 

Good luck,

Teri

I'm not an expert, nor do I have any medical background whatsoever. I have suffered "charley horses" for about 20 years. I've come to notice that the seem to be associated with when I get my migraines as well, which for me, seems to have something to do with my potassium level. When I start getting a headache, or my legs start getting achy, I eat a banana. Works every time (for me, anyway).
