I've heard that when you get one, to flex your foot towards you(the opposite of pointing your foot towards the wall, you basically try to point your toes towards your head, thereby 'flexing your foot')and that can 'undo' the cramp...I've tried it a few times, and for ME, it worked instantly...
You just do it while you are still seated in bed, if it wakes you up at night...just put both legs out straight while you are sitting up, and then just flex the foot of the leg with the charley horse towards you...
I hope this makes sense...maybe if you Google it, it will have a sketch that shows it better than I can say it...
Not sure about the rest of you, but it is a harmless thing to try...
Let me know, guys, if it works for any of my 'forum buddies'...always trying to help...
