A muscle cramp is an involuntarily and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. When we use the muscles that can voluntarily be controlled, such as those of our arms and legs, they alternately contract and relax as we move our limbs. Muscles that support our head, neck, and trunk contract similarly in a synchronized fashion to maintain our posture. A muscle (or even a few fibers of a muscle) that involuntarily (without consciously willing it) contracts is called a "spasm." If the spasm is forceful and sustained, it becomes a cramp.
Ok, but does anyone know how to prevent it while sleeping, in the legs please ?
@ Thanx guys for your answers.
you are right there No-one but doesn't it hurt sometime
get some quinnine sulphate tablets from your doctor or pharmacist and take one at night before you go to bed.
More salt in the diet or try tonic water (contains quinnine).
