Charlie horse Leg Cramps Muscle Cramps, charley horse Leg Spasms leg pain Muscle Spasms Stiffness Restless Legs
Hello,
“I bought one of the leg
warmers for a recurring muscle cramping spasm problem in my right calf, a Charlie Horse. I haven't had any cramps since using it (knock on
wood!)
Thanks for the help. Marge G
Leg Cramps or Muscle Cramps (Charlie Horse) leg pain usually occur when a muscle tries to do more work than it has the strength and flexibility to handle. As a result, most people have experienced a cramped calf, biceps, hand or other muscle spasm at some time. Another cause can be dehydration. Muscle cells are made up of 80 percent fluids, so they need to be replenished constantly. A combination of overwork and dehydration can be more devastating.
Muscles contract and relax over and over again (Restless Legs) , but
when a cramp occurs, the muscle locks in the contracted position (Charlie Horse) leg pain
. When the muscle is irritated, it cramps to protect the area of difficulty. People who
overuse their muscles during the day sometimes wake up at night with cramps. The best way
to avoid a leg cramp is to warm up and stretch before and after exercise, and stay
hydrated.
If you get a cramp, such as a hamstring cramp, lie on your back and gently bring the cramped leg, bent at 90 degrees or so, toward your head. Use one hand to stabilize the front of the thigh, while the other guides the back of the calf. The unclamped leg should be bent at 45 degrees for the least possible strain on your back.

Or, if none of this works, buy a Goode Wrap. These wraps are guaranteed or your money back, no questions asked. Here is what one customer emailed:
Goode Wraps Owner:
I have been using the Goode Wraps for over 18 years. We found them on a visit to
Japan in 1989. Subsequently we were able to run down the manufacturer and after two
years negotiation worked out an arrangement where we became the exclusive dealers in the
US. I occasionally suffer from foot, shin and calf cramps at night. I get out
of bed, walk around the room, place either an ankle wrap or a knee wrap over the cramp and
go back to bed. By the time I have relaxed the cramp is gone.
Hi,
I cannot find anything on heel pain (Plantar Fisitis
(s))...could you advise if the ankle wrap is the product to order or the tape. By the way, I have RLS (restless leg Syndrome) and
use the calf wrap. I would never have
believed this relief was possible WITHOUT the heavy drugs they give out. This product works excellent for me. I never would have believed it. The heel problem is for my wife, who has witnessed
my relief and naturally is looking to your help.
If you've ever been awaken by a leg pain from tendinitis,
restless legs or leg cramps, you know how sudden and intense the pain can be. Several
factors, including dehydration, use of diuretics or overuse of your muscles can trigger
leg pain. The cramps usually occur during rest or sleep. The tendinitis after exercise and
may be called restless legs.
Charlie horse leg cramps are common on the athletic field. Night leg cramps are very difficult for Senior Citizens as it wakes them in the night with intense pain. Both are helped by using our Goode Wraps for the Leg . Put them on and have a good night’s sleep or win the game! Charlie horses can be caused by fluctuations in Electrolytes. Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Calcium and phosphate might be out of balance. Overworked muscles, prolonged sitting, dehydration and certain medications can be the cause. Seniors need to check with your doctor should you have poor circulation to legs, known as “Intermittent Claudication.” Follow your Doctors recommendations such as hot baths or new medications.
Wearing Goode Wraps while walking, massaging, stretching and flexing your foot toward your knee will shorten the time needed to relax those muscles and getting you back in the game or getting a good nights sleep. See Goode Wraps section on University Medical Research. Research also shows our wraps also increase athletic performance. A body without pain can remain balanced and healthy.
Common recommendations for relief from Charlie Horse::
- Stretch and massage--Straighten your leg and point
- your toes upward, while you gently rub the leg to help the muscle relax.
- Stand up--For a calf pain, put your weight on the pained leg and bend your knee slightly. For a thigh cramp, keep both legs straight and lean forward at the waist. Use a chair to steady yourself.
- Apply cold or heat--Use a cold pack to relax tense muscles. Use a warm towel or heating pad later if you have pain and tenderness.
For Real Relief:
Try Goode Wraps leg products. These have been tested for 20 years in Japan and over ten years in the United States. Goode Wraps was picked best of show in 1995 by QVC and made four television appearances.

Cramping and spasms during sleep is usually due to an exaggeration
of a normal muscle reflex. When you turn during sleep, you contract your calf muscles and
stretch their tendons. This stimulates nerve stretch receptors in the tendon and sends a
message back to the spinal cord, telling the calf muscles to contract. Sometimes, the
muscles remain contracted and hurt. Painful muscle cramps at night can also be caused by
pinched nerves, a partially-obstructed flow of blood to the legs and abnormal mineral or
hormone levels, so if you have this problem, check with your doctor.
The only drug that has been shown to be effective in treating night-time leg cramps
is quinine, but the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that none of the
over-the-counter drugs used to treat night-time leg cramps are recognized as safe or
effective and therefore, will be subject to regulatory action. Doctors often prescribe 1
or 2 quinine pills at bedtime, but they can cause birth defects and miscarriages, so they
should never be taken by a pregnant woman. They can also cause ringing in the ears,
headache, nausea, disturbed vision, chest pain and asthma.
Goode Wraps relax muscles and tendons to relieve pain, swelling and stiffness
The quadriceps
muscle group ("quads") is made of four muscles along the front of the thigh.
They all share the tendon that encloses the kneecap and attaches to the top of the shin,
and they extend your lower leg. Three of them just work the knee joint, and the fourth,
the one on top and in the middle of the front of your thigh, also helps raise your thigh
(along with. Trigger points in these muscles can cause pain in your knee and all along the
front and outside of your thigh as far up as your pelvis.
Drs. Travell and Simons say, "Unexplained thigh and knee pain in children, even
in infants, is more frequently due to quadriceps femoris TrPs [trigger points] than is
generally realized. These youngsters with thigh and knee pain should be examined for
TrPs."

Restless legs syndrome (RLS)
has no known cause. There are conditions
similar that are caused by medical problems such as kidney failure or anemia. The most
common form or restless legs affects between 1% and 5% of the general population. Males
and females are equally affected, and it occurs in more people, as they get older. It is
also known that during the last few months of pregnancy up to 15% of women develop
restless legs. in most cases, the symptoms disappear after delivery.
FEATURES
OF RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME
The main feature of restless
legs is the presence of troublesome sensations in
the legs that produce an
irresistible urge to
move. The condition is often difficult to describe but terms such as creeping, burning,
itching, pulling, or tugging are frequently used. Sometimes sufferers experience sharp or
numb feelings as well.
The restless legs occur or
worsen only when at rest, typically ease with voluntary movement, yet frequently return
again upon resting. Finally, symptoms of restless legs are worse in the evening and at
night, especially when the sufferer lies down. Restlessness, fidgeting or nervousness
manifests as movements of the toes, feet, or legs when the individual is sitting or lying
down in the evening.

Muscle Relaxation
Muscle relaxation study by a large Southwest University
Notes from the Researchers
The research has proven to be more difficult than anticipated
primarily because there has never been any research, at least documented, concerning how
muscles relax or why muscles become more flexible.
The research was performed on mice.
Basically they measured the flexibility that would occur over a 20 minute
period by moving the mouse leg back and forth during this time period. Numerous tests were performed at three different
frequencies to establish the control. The
charts show how the muscle resistance decreases over time.
In other words, warming up your muscles moves them to maximum
flexibility.
Once these standards were developed, the same procedures were
followed only a massage cone was applied to the belly of the muscles. The results show that our product quickly allows
the muscle to move to full flexibility.
In another test, the muscles were at full flexibility and then our
product was applied. In these tests nothing
happened.
The next stage of the study will be 1) To record nervous activity in dorsal roots of the spinal
cord during static and dynamic stretch, and 2) To determine static and dynamic muscle
stiffness with or without topical application following cutting of dorsal roots.
We have no idea how, or if, this muscle relaxation relates to the
pain relieve or the anti-inflammatory action noted in the other studies. However, it is possible injury could be prevented
if muscles were relaxed by wearing our product.
