A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown : Commonly there is no clear cause. Less commonly, it can be from heavy exercise, overuse, or fatigue. Even less commonly, it can be from an imbalance of magnesium, calcium or vitamin d. Thyroid disorders, hormone disorders, pregnancy, nerve disease or injury are some other rare causes. If symptoms persist or become worse, you should seek a professional consultation.
