A member asked:
I can get cramps/strains on my muscles/joins for days - is it because of my body metabolism or something?

Possibly: You should see your doctor. A thorough history and physical examination should be performed. There are some metabolic disorders that effect muscles (Mcardles disease for example) that are not diagnosed until later in life. More information is needed to appropriately answer your question.
