[|Human|] I have been experiencing leg cramps(Charlie Horse). I am post menopausal it happens in my right leg which will stay sore days afterwards. Also I have noticed that the area of my leg that the cramp is in will discolor like a bruise. My question is why does my skin discolor,? Why does the area remain sore? And what can I do to stop the Charlie Horse?
[|AI|]  Hi, If the leg shows discoloration after Charlie Horse phenomenon then this is most probably related to the internal structures. The causes can be varicose veins with insufficiency. Deep vein thrombosis. Muscle cramps. These can be diagnosed by the following ways:Color Doppler of the lower limb. This along with clinical evaluation and examination can help to get a proper diagnosis. Also get relevant blood tests for coagulopathy and so on. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
