They are painful and cannot be controlled voluntarily. Calf muscle contractions lasting for a few seconds to minutes disturb your sleep. Leg cramps are reported in up to 60% of adults and 7% of children. They are troublesome and can cause severe pain and sleep disturbance, and residual pain sometimes occurs in the affected muscles after cramping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Leg cramps can also happen while rapidly walking, playing sports, or exercising in the gym. They can affect your general quality of life. Certain drugs can cause cramps as a side effect. They include<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Cholesterol-lowering medications such as atorvastatin (Lipitor), simvastatin (Zocor), and rosuvastatin (Cresto).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Potassium-sparing diuretics like spironolactone can give rise to cramps when taken long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Diuretics like thiazides can cause cramps. Conjugated estrogens like Premarin given for hot flashes, osteoporosis, and breast cancer can cause cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Unfortunately, the specific cause of leg cramps at night has yet to be proven.In most situations, no medication is required; just stretching your muscles until the cramp disappears works. In the case of calf muscles, dorsiflex your foot and hold; within seconds, the cramp may go off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Stretching the affected muscles may occasionally relieve these cramps, but sometimes other treatments are needed. Some medications may help, and other supportive options \u2014 such as massages and sports drinks \u2014 are also available. Your doctor will perform lab tests on your blood to check whether you have any deficiencies in micronutrients, including minerals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Muscle fatigue can cause cramps, especially when seated or standing in one position for long hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nerve dysfunctions and electrolyte imbalances involving low levels of magnesium, potassium or calcium can give rise to cramps any time of the day or night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You could get cramps due to reduced blood circulation due to diseases of the blood vessels. Cirrhosis and pregnancy are also causes, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Raloxifene (Evista) medication given for osteoporosis can cause cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You should be aware of a few more medications that can give rise to cramps. Certain chronic diseases can give rise to night cramps. They include- coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, varicose veins, kidney disease, metabolic disorders like diabetes and hypothyroidism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Muscle and joint conditions, including arthritis, can cause cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Neurological conditions like peripheral neuropathy and hereditary cramp syndromes can also cause cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Chronic alcohol abuse is a common cause, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You need to drink adequate water and take certain electrolytes to prevent cramps, especially if you are athletic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">People who take vitamin B complex, magnesium supplements, calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure, and a few other medications have no firm evidence of their effectiveness in treating leg cramps at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Magnesium is widely used to treat leg cramps, particularly in Latin America and Europe. However, almost all of the many clinical studies of magnesium treatment for cramps found it ineffective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Patients must not take magnesium supplements if they have kidney disease or are older due to the collection in the blood, referred to as hypermagnesaemia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Quinine, a medication for treating malaria, has some supporting evidence for treating leg cramps at night. Quinine has been commonly used to treat leg cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Still, TGA approval for this indication was withdrawn in 2004 after reports of an increased risk of thrombocytopenia and four associated fatalities in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Although no specific cramp treatments exist, several exercises and other medication- free options may help relieve the cramps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These can include, Walking daily as a routine. Stretching the affected legs before walks and exercise Applying heat to the affected area or sleeping under warm electric beds<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Taking a hot shower Riding a stationary bicycle \u2014 is available \u2014 for a few minutes Staying hydrated, especially after exercise Avoiding smoking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">I hope this video article speaks the truth regarding the methods available for relieving leg cramps. Stretching the cramping muscle may be the best immediate solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Please stay safe and in good health until we meet again. Goodbye for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Using traditional\/herbal medications for leg cramps increase the risk of unintentional doping. It is important to raise awareness among athletes, trainers, pharmacists, and prescribers about these risks.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Disclaimer:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The information contained in this article is for general information purposes only, and whilst the author will endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct, eLanka makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to the eLanka website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained in this article for any purpose.
