Question 1

what causes muscle cramps in my arms (biceps and triceps) after working out?

Accepted Answer

Lack of ATP: After your workout, you've depleted your muscle stores of atp, which is the energy unit your body consumes.  Atp is required for the muscle to relax.  The cramps lessen as your body regenerates atp.

In exercise,: and working out, you sometimes cause micro tears in the muscle fibers, this can cause pain.  This stimulates healing and strengthening of the muscle over time. Sometimes backing off on reps or weight, and using heat therapy can be useful.

Depends: Near the distal biceps is the median nerve. Injury to that area can potentially injure that nerve or swelling puts pressure  on that nerve.  A test called emg/ncv can identify how well that nerve is functioning and help determine the cause. Stop at your local physical medicine and rehab or neurologist doctors office for more details.

Accepted Answer

Arm cramp: The cause of this symptom could be an irritable biceps muscle or a nerve impingement somewhere in the neck or shoulder. Rather than a GP, I recommend being evaluated by an orthopedic specialist or neurologist so that appropriate tests will be ordered in order to make a diagnosis.

Question 7

slight shoulder pain and tightness.  cramping/sharp pains in bicep, tricep, and shooting pain in forearm.  pain come on for minute or two then go away?

Shoulder origin: These pains may be referred from a tendonitis of the shoulder or may indicate a pinched nerve in the neck or shoulder area. The jabbing,sharp nature of the discomfort suggests nerve pain,however. An orthopedic specialist is well qualified to evaluate and recommend any appropriate tests and treatment.

Question 8

what can cause cramps?

Accepted Answer

Lack of blood supply: Cramps are the response of muscles to oxygen need greater than supply.  It can happen with diversion of the blood to other portions of the body such as after eating, or due to excess strain in exercising.  They are usually short term and do not do any harm but if persistent could indicate a problem in the blood supply.

Question 9

cause of cramps when i yawn?

Accepted Answer

Where are the cramps: I would like to know where you are cramping while yawning. If you do so in your jaw, it may be that you have some problems with temporomandibular joint (known as tmj). You may have inflammation there or it may be pushed out of place if you are yawning way too widely. I'd appreciate more detail, so i could help you better.
