Description
Leg Cramps are unpleasant often painful sensationsOften caused by muscle over-shortening and contractionsThe causes may be muscle fatigue or low potassiumOther causes are low sodium or low magnesiumThey usually occur in a calf muscle below and behind a knee.The muscle cramp pain typically lasts a few minutesLactic acid builds up around the muscles to trigger the crampsMuscle soreness may remain even after the cramp itself endsThese cramps are more common in older women and men.They also occur during pregnancy in womenLeg cramps can also be caused by certain medicationDisturbance in sleep can cause it to be a distressing conditionTreatment is by stretching the muscle and rehydrationAdequate fluids and replacement salts are one solutionRegular muscle stretching is another way of preventionIf not, use Quinine tablet for fast treatment of condition-An original poem by Kenneth KeeInteresting Tips about the Leg CrampsA Healthy Lifestyle1. Take a well Balanced Diet2. Treatment of a leg cramp:Stretching and drinking plenty of fluids such as water may be helpful in treating simple muscle cramps.With exertional heat cramps due to electrolyte abnormalities (primarily sodium loss and not calcium, magnesium, and potassium) appropriate fluids and sufficient salt improves symptoms.Quinine is likely to be effective.However, due to side effects its use should only be considered if other treatments have failed and in light of these concerns.Vitamin B complex, naftidrofuryl, lidocaine, and calcium channel blockers may be effective for muscle cramps.Research has also shown that pickle juice can be an effective remedy based on its high sodium and electrolyte content.3. Keep bones and body strongBone marrow produces our bloodEat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruitsZinc and other minerals are important to the body4. Get enough rest and SleepAvoid stress and tension5. Exercise and stay active.It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 21/2 hours a week.One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.6.
