Answers:
You are correct, pointing your foot with a cramp in it makes the cramp worse!. You need to massage the bottom of your foot and FLEX your foot to get rid of the cramp!. Bananas, Oranges, Yogurt are all good sources of potassium, and you should increase your potassium when you use your muscles!. Or just try some sports drink prior to working out (like Gatorade) to even out your electrolytes!. Also, another thing you need to remember is that muscles cramp when there is not enough fluid in the body!. So you have to remember to drink plenty of water, and drink it cold because cold fluids get to the muscles quicker than warmer or room temp fluids!. Hope that helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i get that all the time and its because you muscles are not use to it!. so the muscle will tighten up!. and then it contracts and it really freaking hurts!. i really what to know also so !. so it doesnt hurtWww@Answer-Health@Com
