CRAMPS, MUSCULAR PAIN.

MUSCULAR cramps are involuntary contractions of the muscles that occur spontaneously, or when doing exercise or physically straining activities.Commonly affected muscles include those in the back of your lower leg, the back of your thigh, and the front of your thigh.

Symptoms

Contraction of some muscle in the body causing pain, making it difficult to stretch or relax the muscle.

It occurs most frequently in the legs, but can happen anywhere.

Causes
 Muscle injuries and dehydration can also trigger cramps. Dehydration is the excessive loss of fluids in the body.Can be from a deficiency of vitamin E, or from an imbalance between calcium and magnesium. They can be caused by anemia, arthritis and atherosclerosis, as well as poor blood circulation. Fatigue and stress are other possible cause of cramps.

Suggested treatment

In the past, it was thought the best cure for back pain was to rest. We now know that rest can be harmful as it allows your muscles to weaken, therefore delaying recovery.
Take pain reliever.
You can apply a hot or cold compress to your sore muscles at the first sign of a spasm to ease the pain of muscle cramps. You can use any of the following:
