A Charlie Horse is just what you wrote... a leg cramp. It is has many causes ranging from simple needs in diet to the more extreme... disease. You can correct the problem once the source is identified. If it's a dietary problem, the solution is simple enough. Most times while experiencing it it becomes worse due to the contraction of the muscle as a result of the pain. I find that if I relax easing the tension in my body while experiencing the pain, it causes the cramp not to last long. This takes total will power and concentration while expericing the cramp. I would recommend you look at Wikapedia.com or dictionary.com for more information.
