Everybody has had a muscle cramp in their thigh, calf, arm and more during their life at different situations such as from running or even lying down on the couch. When a muscle contracts and it is not able to relax then a cramp will occur. If you have a cramp in your calf then it will become hard as well as stiff and it will be extremely painful to deal with. The causes of a muscle cramp are endless because there is more than one way to get them however, the main ways to get a muscle cramp is: lack of stretching before the exercise, working out in the heat, poor blood circulation, muscle fatigue and dehydration which is the reason coaches tell their players to drink a lot of water. Also, when people workout they sweat out water as well as electrolytes which help conduct nerve impulses throughout the entire body, which allow your muscles to contract. When a person has lost enough water as well as electrolytes then their nerve impulses from their brain to their muscles become deranged as a result muscle cramps will occur. Countless people already know that muscle cramps will occur due to those causes such as dehydration however, many people do not know that muscle cramps are a side effect from certain drugs such as Lasix, Aricept, Evista and more.
