Do doctors see a lot of patients with muscle cramps?

Yes: Cramps are very common but can arise for many different reasons. There are simple treatments once properly diagnosed, but you will have to see a physician to determine your cause.

Yes: But there's often not a whole lot to do. Stretching and making sure that you ate well hydrated are the most important things. Sometimes blood tests can help determine the cause.
