Suggest Treatment For Charley Horse And Vericose Veins
My right calf is 1 in larger than my left. I have also had a charley horse in it for a while (over a week). It gets worse at night I wake up at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 (then get up at 4:30) It feels better when I sit but I can still feel it. I also have vericose veins and it is warm. I am in week 3 of new orthotics which what I at first was the problem.

The treatment for varicose veins is some form of surgical intervention like sclerotherapy,laser ablation, Endoscopic or open surgery. Charley horse spasms are spasmodic contractions of calf or thigh muscles at night time.These are due to accumulation of metabolites in the muscles due to fatigue.
