A member asked:
Why are my leg and feet muscles cramping for over an hour even though i have had plenty to keep myself hydrated?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See your doctor: The cramping could be from electrolyte deficiency or could be an early sign of a neuromuscular condition, in cases of extreme work outs, the body may need hydration with electrolyte drinks. Water in large amounts may dilute the electrolytes in your system. Your doctor can help you solve this with lab work and rehydration education. If need may refer to a specialist for futher testing. Dvt test?

Switch from water...: To a sports drink like gatorade. It may be lack of salts and electrolytes.
