Best 5 Steps for Remarkably Treating Muscle Cramps
What Causes Muscle Cramps and the Best 5 Steps for Treating Muscle Cramps Muscle cramps typically come on without warning, often at night or just after exercise, and when they do, the pain can be excruciating. While generally harmless, if you get muscle cramps on a regular basis they’ll feel anything but. Aside from the sudden, sharp pain, muscle cramps make it virtually impossible to use the affected muscle until the cramping stops, which can be dangerous if you’re swimming or in the middle of a strenuous activity that makes taking a break difficult (such as rock climbing). Muscle cramps often occur in the calf muscles (which are called “charley horses”) but they can also occur in your feet, thighs, hands, arms, abdomen, or along the rib cage. Back muscle spasms or cramps are also common. The pain may last for only a few seconds or it may continue for 15 minutes or more. In some cases muscle cramps will recur multiple times before going away completely.
