What cause muscles feel like constant charlie horse?
Patient: Hi my name is Anita. I have left lower leg pitting edema, and the muscles feel like they are in a constant charlie horse. The only way to get relief is to lie down with leg up above my heart. I have/had cellulites in the le daysft lower leg. I have been on Keflex for 4 days then my doctor changed it to Doxycyline for 10 days. It is some better, but I don t understand why my left leg looks and feels like it is in a charlie horse. Doctor: HiYou need Doppler venous flow studies of the leg since this may be a deep venous thrombosis--a clot in a deep leg vein
