I am going to hazzard it depends on the person, but my calf muscles are a mess, from ankle to hip I have spasms, spasticity and last week a charley horse. I eat a banana daily, water is a dear friend, I stretch, self massage, heat on the rare occassion it is not too much.

I have bad and worse days. I have found success mostly lies in distracting myself. When not with clients I can plug in and process work. Leg kicks up to my lap and stretching commences.

In the past I have tried myscle relaxers, but the daily part was a turn off. I was taking more medicine at that time. I may consider approaching them again if things stay so taut.
