A member asked:
I had a charley horse over a month ago and my calf still feels sore and tight. what can i do to help it finish healing?

Massage: Massage is a good thing to do but from your history that you supplied I think it would be wise to see a physical therapist. Did you talk to your family physician about the charlie horse as to what he/she might think was the cause? Could be an electrolyte imbalance. Do that first.
