A deficiency in potassium can lead to muscle cramps, such as charley horses, because potassium helps regulate muscle contractions. When there is not enough potassium in the body, the muscles may not function properly, leading to cramping and spasms.
After a few charley horses a month you should probably start searching for an answer to why you are having them. A lot of charley horses are a lack of Potassium which is found in Bananas. Also i found that if you stretch your calf or foot (or what ever else) during the pain, (even though it hurts) it is much better.
The correct spelling is "charley horse" for muscle cramps. It refers to a painful muscle spasm or cramp that typically occurs in the leg.
A "Charley Horse" is an uncontrolled muscle contraction and can be very painful. Any muscle can develop contractions but "Charley horse" most often occur in the calf of the leg or the foot. Over use, muscle strain or remaining in one position for a lenght of time can produce one. Tough workouts during the day often result in cramping later when you are in bed relaxing. Dehydration creating an imbalance of sodium and potassium is often the culprit. Prevention: Stretch before and after exercise. Drink lots of water during exercise. Try one of the "sports drinks" when the muscles are sore. Do not "flex your toes" when relaxing as this often sets the cramp in motion. "It hurts, help!" Massage the muscle hard! Deep rub to relax cramp. Apply a cold pack. Apply a heat pack. Alternate between hot and cold. Stretch the muscle, "walk it off" Hard to do but effective. Take a hot bath.

You are referring to a "Charley horse", which is a simple term for a leg muscle spasm and often occurs to many people during the night. More often than not, this condition is caused by a potassium, calcium or liquid deficiency and can be remedied by massaging the muscle. Preventative treatment includes eating foods high in potassium (simple as a banana), calcium (glass of milk), and of course, plenty of water.
