A member asked:

I had a charlie horse real bad the other night lasted for hours now my foot is bruised and swollen is this normal. my pain was so bad i woke screamin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A Charlie horse: Is usually a muscle spasm that takes place. A spasm should not cause skin discoloration....hence, I would have it checked out.

Dr Willson and another doctor agreed
