What might cause musle cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various conditions: Muscles cramps may result from overuse, dehydration, mineral imbalance, muscle strain, buildup of toxins, a disorder involving the nerve to the muscle, and lack of adequate blood supply to the muscle. In many cases, however, the exact cause of a muscle cramp isn't discovered. See your doctor to diagnose and treat recurrent cramps. Best of health to you!
