How come my legs cramp and get tight really fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple causes: Dehydration, or not drinking enough water, can cause this, along with multiple electrolyte disorders, such as too much sodium in your diet. Lack of stretching and exercise could be the cause. You should see your physician to give you a full evaluation.
