When you want to reach for something, pick something up, walk, or move any part of your body, the message to move, grasp, move your leg/arm, etc begins in your brain and the message [which is an electrical pulse] travels through your brain by several pathways, travels down the spinal nerves and into the extremity and the muscles targeted perform the necessary movements. Just about everything in the body is run or stimulated by electrical messages from the brain...

Can you fracture your charlie horse?
A charley horse typically refers to a muscle cramp, usually in the leg, and does not involve bone or fractures. However, if the muscle cramp occurs during intense physical activity or is accompanied by a sudden movement, it could potentially lead to muscle strains or other injuries. While a charley horse itself doesn't cause fractures, the associated movement could result in an injury that might include fractures if significant force is applied. It's important to manage muscle cramps properly to avoid further injury.

Can long thoracic nerve injury cause breathing and heart problems?
Yes, a long thoracic nerve injury can potentially lead to breathing issues, primarily due to its role in innervating the serratus anterior muscle, which helps stabilize the scapula during arm movement and contributes to proper respiratory mechanics. However, direct heart problems are less common, as the long thoracic nerve does not directly affect cardiac function. Indirectly, compromised respiratory function could lead to overall cardiovascular strain, but this would be more of a secondary effect rather than a direct result of the nerve injury.
Can a charlie horse break a bone in your foot?
A charlie horse, which is a sudden and involuntary muscle cramp, typically affects the leg muscles and does not directly cause bones to break.

Generally, a charlie horse itself does not have the capacity to break a bone.
Injury that doesn't immediately cause pain or soreness?
