1 Charley horses in the upper leg are mainly caused by activities like running or jumping. 2  Some of the spasms occur because of the irritation of the nerve that connects to a muscle. 3  The most common type of Charley horse, found in the calf region, is often the result of kicking while swimming.
Almost everyone has a âcharley horseâ at some point in his or her life. These are muscle spasms in which a group of muscles involuntarily contracts. This causes pain and inability to use those muscles. Stretching typically stops the cramp. But you may continue to have soreness for several days. Often charley horses develop for no clear reason. They can happen while sleeping, or they may develop if you stay in one position for a long period, as in writerâs cramp. A variety of conditions are associated with such muscle cramps.
