ʀᴇǫᴜɪʀᴇᴅ ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ-:
Causes of muscle cramps include:
Straining or overusing a muscle. This is the most common cause.
Compression of your nerves, from problems such as a spinal cord injury or a pinched nerve in the neck or back
Dehydration
Low levels of electrolytes such as magnesium, potassium, or calcium
Not enough blood getting to your muscles
If you have a cramp, these actions may provide relief:
Stretch and massage. Stretch the cramped muscle and gently rub it to help it relax. For a calf cramp, put your weight on your cramped leg and bend your knee slightly.
Apply heat or cold. Use a warm towel or heating pad on tense or tight muscles.
