Yes: Length of recovery has some to do with your age and baseline level of fitness. For example a teenager will recover much faster than an elderly sedentary person. But if your symptoms are severe it may mean it is not just a charley horse. Perhaps you have a small partial tear in your muscle. You should see a doctor if it persists.
