I get charlie horses in the middle of the night. can i make them go away without gettin gout of bed?

Prevention: A few minutes of stretching exercises or riding a stationary bicycle for a few minutes before going to bed can prevent the cramps from coming on. Keeping well hydrated and avoiding alcohol/caffeine help. Cramps can be a sign of low potassium and magnesium, which are a side effect of some medications such as diuretics. If you get cramps regularly, it is worthwhile getting checked out.

Try magnesium: There are a few different reasons why one can get cramps at night. I have found magnesium supplements taken before bedtime to be highly effective. It is worth a try.
