A member asked:
My muscle still hurts 2 days after a charley horse, so was it just a charley horse?

Possible: It really depends on the degree of the cramp, how long it lasted. More likely there may be a strain injury of the muscle. If it does not get better after several days see your doctor to get it checked out.
