not sure if "charlie horse" is a regional term, but courtesy urbandictionary for the unknowers:
Quote
A sudden, abrupt, or spontaneous contraction of a muscle causing extreme pain persisting for a duration ranging from seconds to minutes resulting in residual discomfort and soreness in that muscle.
So anyway I was driving home today, moved my right leg (the one for driving) and got one in my calf. I was literally squirming in the seat in searing pain and had to slow down, stretch the leg out, and drive with the other foot temporarily
you know if you flex your hamstring back it will get really painful and be hard to move
is that a charlie horse because i can do that at will
I got one of those this morning, I moved my leg before I got up and I got one in my calf as well.
I have a permanent charlie horse. If I so much as flex my calf it cramps up like a motha.
I always get them in the arch of my foot (inorite baddood;) when I'm masturbating

Charlie horse, cramps, it's all the same in Texas.
But I get them in my calfs if I don't stretch properly.

YEAH SAME HERE
I just stretch my feet around too much and I always go too far. Oh god what a horrible feeling.
i thought a charlie horse was when someone like knees you or something in the side of the leg and it really hurts.
and whatever you're talking about are just cramps?...
That's strange. This has never happened to me.
I get that sometimes if I move my leg in a certain way. But I don't think it's a charlie horse. Just a painful nerve or muscle contraction.
I associate charlie horses with that pain when you work out the legs strenuously, like riding a bike up a hill or something.
If I stretch my arm a certain way it happens SOMETIMES.

Oh that happens to me when I'm laying down a certain way... it feels like there's something moving around in there, but I guess it's just a cramp. Actually when I get them in my calves, it's always when I'm laying down too...
I get muscle spasms in my toes a couple times a week. Don't think they really count as charlie horses though. :(

It's because your muscles are attempting to relax and if they happen to extend in a way that some other muscles don't like you get a problem.
The muscle spasms I get in my feet are strong enough to turn my second toe completely under my big toe and separate it from the rest of my toes. It's SO painful and lasts like 5-15 minutes. :\
