Your muscles cramp up
Everyone has a muscle cramp once in a while, especially if you’ve recently been through a tough workout. Even more, there’s a study published in 2018 in “Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology” that suggests how exercise-associated muscle cramps are extremely common during sports.
BUT, there are some conditions that have manifested through leg cramps, like dehydration, having low levels of electrolytes, the administration of certain medications, suffering from a nerve disorder, or an underactive thyroid gland.
But, according to the European Journal of Neurology, there are many aspects of cramping we haven’t quite managed to unwrap. It’s important to pay attention to how often you have muscle cramps, so your doctor can understand what’s causing them.
