A member asked:
I have muscle spasms in my forearm but its is not painful it just feels tight near my wrist and forearm. could this be from overusing my muscle during exercise or an electrolyte imbalance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be both: Over use may cause the symptoms and loss of salts during exercise may contribute. You may need to back off on the intensity of exercise and drink an electrolyte drink like Gatorade.
