Charlie horses catch you off guard!! One stretch and you can feel it coming!!! Once the muscle starts to tighten there's no stopping it!! Until that muscles is hard as a rock!! There is a very simple way to stop that Charlie!!! Simply lightly rub the leg! Gently rub the leg light as a feather!! This will soothe the muscles and it will relax!!!! This has worked many times!!! How do you stop a Charlie Horse!!!!

I sit and move gently my toes and feet. Then I move my legs up and down, always sitting. It helps.

I have found that if I'm quick enough curling my toes up will stop it happening - but you have to be quick!

I stand up as soon as possible. That is the only way it stops for me. Something about flexing the foot into a level position works to help this. A Charlie Horse is painful.
