What s the deal with frequent cramps in the feet?

Cramping is a sudden, involuntary tonic contraction of muscles, which causes muscle stiffness and pain. Foot cramps are the most common experience for the average person. Studies have reported that one in seven people over the age of 45 have experienced a cramp in their feet.

And up to half of the elderly over 65 years old have experienced uncomfortable foot cramps. In particular, there are more women than men. Most foot cramps occur at night, but patients with peripheral vascular disease and arthritis are more likely to have foot cramps.

Seven percent of adolescents have had foot cramps in the past year, with the 16 to 18 age group being the most likely to occur. The main causes of foot cramps are: 1

Poor local circulation, peripheral vascular lesions, or varicose veins of the feet. 2.Sudden changes in ambient temperature.

3.Emotional overtension. 4.

Insufficient levels of minerals (e.g., magnesium, calcium) in the diet. 5.Certain chronic diseases, pregnant women also have an increased incidence of cramps.

6.Certain drugs to lower blood pressure and blood lipids may also cause cramps in the feet. 7.

Motor neuron disease, spinal radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy. 8.Unknown reasons.

How to reduce the chances of foot cramps: 1Pay attention to calcium supplementation:

During puberty, calcium is relatively deficient and more likely to cause cramps. 2.If you are prone to cramps when you sleep at night, stretch on the cramp-prone area before going to bed.

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

4.Excessive sagging of the foot plate (toward the sole of the foot) 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 after the cramp. In folklore**, it is recommended to use your fingers to press the acupuncture points in the person, and you can also try it.

Why do you say so much upstairs, cramps are because your body lacks the trace element ca (calcium) because you are growing your body, so you need more calcium, plus your usual exercise and sweating will lead to the loss of calcium salts. So I recommend you and milk, but not too much, because too much calcium is not good, up to 2 cups of milk a day is OK, I have smoked a few times before, and I died of pain in the middle of the night. In addition, cover some quilts at night, and it is easy to cramp when you catch a cold.

That's all I have to say....Sweat. Tired Glad for your question, I'm typing on my phone the whole time, if I can. Hope "5 Stars"....

Secondly, to see if it is caused by a cold, if so, it is recommended to increase or decrease clothes according to the weather, avoid cold, wash your feet with hot water before going to bed at night, and massage your calves and soles to help promote blood circulation. I recommend trying it, it works well.
