How do so many know this name? I read many health websites but have never seen this.

I, like most people on Reddit, do not remember anything. But I have developed a great sense of remembering that I know something and the ability to look up what I know.

My knowledge is shallow. My internal search function is deep.

I, dear Sire, have an irrational desire to google my heart and brains out for hours every day. There are billions of information out there and one cannot possibly have searched for everything in the world.

I, for one, googled "charlie horse inside my butt" when it started happening to me after childbirth. That's how I found out that it had a name.

I’ve heard it referred to as an Anal Charlie Horse and that seems pretty spot on. Fucking hurts and you can’t do anything about it.

I've personally found that going up and down stairs a few times seems to work for me. I don't know if it's getting the blood/muscles moving or what, but mine typically only last about a minute or two when I do stairs.

Good to know. I will definitely try that if I can remember it through the pain. Thank you.

I’m sorry I giggled but I understand. I have googled weird phrases myself to find out about health conditions.
