What are the causes of muscle cramps and should i drink water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle cramps: Dehydration has always been thought of as being a cause of cramping. However there is increased thought that changes in neuromuscular control rather than electrolyte imbalance and dehydration as more convincing.
