The main causes of leg and foot cramps are:

1) Poor local circulation, peripheral vascular lesions or varicose veins of the feet.

2) Sudden change in ambient temperature.

3) Emotional overtension.

4) Excessive loss of water and salt, resulting in an imbalance of electrolytes in the body.

5) Insufficient levels of minerals (such as magnesium and calcium) in the diet.

6) The incidence of cramps in certain chronic diseases and pregnant women will also increase.

7) Low thyroid, uremia or other physical diseases.

8) Motor neuron disease, spinal radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy.

9) Certain drugs to lower blood pressure and blood lipids may also cause foot cramps.

10) Unknown reasons.

How to reduce the chances of leg and foot cramps:

1) Pay attention to calcium supplementation: In the stage of puberty, calcium will be relatively lacking, which is more likely to cause cramps.

2) If you are prone to cramps when sleeping at night, stretch on the cramp-prone area before going to bed.

3) Keep your calves warm when sleeping. You can wear more clothes to keep your hands and feet warm.

4) Excessive sagging of the foot plate (in the direction of the soles of the feet) may induce cramps in the lower legs. Avoid letting the foot plate hang too much when sleeping.

5) There have been reports in the literature that vitamin E can reduce the number of attacks, but it is not conclusive.

When the calf is cramping, you can straighten and rub the spasmodic calf muscles, and pull the foot plate that is cramping downward. And pay attention to the warmth of the calf muscles when the cramps are excessive. In folklore**, it is recommended to use your fingers to press the acupuncture points in the person, and you can also try it.

Leg cramps may be due to calcium deficiency, and you try to eat something to supplement calcium, and get more sunlight, which will help you synthesize vitamin D and help you absorb calcium.

Calcium deficiency! I used to do this often, and then I bought calcium tablets to eat, and after a while, the effect was remarkable!

The day before yesterday, on the road, I suddenly had a sharp pain in my right calf, and I was so scared that I was sweating.

The tendons in the calf are swollen and the surrounding muscles are very hard... I hurriedly massaged it to relieve it, but there was bruising all around.

It's still a little bit ... Do any friends know what symptoms are causing this?

It's cold! Take some more calcium tablets.

First, if you maintain a posture for a long time, the calf muscles will continue to contract, and fatigue will occur, which will cause muscle cramps.

Second, it is related to the usual exercise time for too long, for example, athletes participating in marathons are prone to calf cramps, mainly due to frequent muscle contractions, so there will be cramps.

Third, it is directly related to the lack of calcium in the body, if the body is deficient in calcium, it will cause abnormal contraction of muscle fibers, resulting in local dysfunction, so there will be symptoms of calf cramps.

Calf cramps are accompanied by localized pain that requires immediate stretching of the triceps muscles of the calf to help relieve them.

If you have calf cramps, what causes it? In general, many people think that calf cramps are not caused by calcium deficiency. In fact, sometimes if we exercise too much, our nerves will be delicious, and a certain amount of tension will also cause our calf cramps, so after exercising, we must do some appropriate stretching and relaxation, our muscle tension.

It may also be caused by a cold, on the other hand, it may also be caused by a lack of calcium, which can be checked and then prescribed the right medicine.
