Charlie Horse

A muscle cramp that typically affects the calf muscle, due to sore, tired muscles and a lack of hydration. One of the most ridiculously, painful fucking things that could happen to someone.

He woke up out of a dead sleep with the feeling that the devil himself was wringing his calf muscle dry like a wet rag while nothing he did could stop the ever-increasing pain and misery of this monstrosity called a charlie horse.

In the middle of the night I stretched my leg and got a Charlie Horse in my calf.
