Ever get a charlie horse so bad you wanted to die?

I woke up, stretched my legs then a massive pool ball sized lump formed in my calf and pain so intense I started screaming OUCH KILL ME NOW PLEASE OUCH!!!

My GF had to massage it out, She was freaking out too. We've never seen a lump so damn big before.

My leg now feels like it's burning at times.

I researched charlie horses a bit today and it turns out what happens is a large chunk of muscles RIPS away from the larger mass causing it to curn. the body's natural reaction is to flex the damaged part which causes even more pain. A pool of blood then forms in the damaged area and that's what causes the burning.
