Tearing of the: muscle fibers can cause prolonged pain after severe cramps. Warm up stretches are touted as possible prevention, however studies are not clear on actual success of pre activity stretches. If happens a lot consider getting your blood tested for magnesium, calcium, and potassium levels.
