I got a Charlie Horse in my left calf this afternoon that….

….almost had me crying, the pain was so intense. And those things you always make worse before you make them better because you always wind up moving your body to the wrong position to alleviate the pain. In my case today, I couldn’t flatten my foot on the floor so when I went to relax my leg and not force my foot down, the pain intensified. I was literally on the verge of tears until I located the spot on the back of my leg where the spasm was and started pounding my fist into it. Literally. I started punching the back of my calf and the pain began to ease. The only thing left of it now is soreness above my ankle, for some reason. That was the worst pain from one of those I’ve ever felt.
