A member asked:
Why might someone have residual charlie horse twitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A charlie horse: is different from a twitch. A charlie horse is more of a spasm which when stretched and rubbed often goes away. (may take some time.) Twitching is rapid involuntary movements….this can happen from vitamin deficiency, or lack of sleep or rest. Some blame overconsumption of caffeine...
