Im 39 and this morning i woke up with my legs cramping. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several reasons: Cramping is a result of muscle irritation: excessive work/exercise the day before, dehydration, venous incompetence, prolonged standing/sitting. Should you have persistence of symptoms, see www.Phlebology.Org, and place your zip code to find a phlebologist in your area who can evaluate your legs and advise accordingly.
