80 percent of the time doctors relate cramps and muscle cramps, as a lack of not drinking enough.  Water  is a lubricant, for our body. Actually, cranberry juice is just as important. For 2 months drink  your fill. eight glasses of water and cranberry juice only.If the cramps wake you a nite especially. Relax a little, prop  your legs up on a  moist heating to increase your circulation. Also massage them,with a moisturing lotion> Always massage going down to ur feet. This will get ur circulation up to par

Its a cramp caused by lack of potassium\nSolution: Eat bananas. They are full of potassium

the cause could be lack of conditioning, poor blood flow, or something more serious like neuropathy ( often from diabetis). try some gentle exercising and make sure you take magnesium. the magnesium soothes irritated nerves that may be causing your leg cramps.

Stretching before may help. Start slow and work your speed up.  Then slow down gradually don't stop suddenly. Be certain you are getting sufficient water and potassium. My sister used to get terrible muscle cramps in her back and legs till her doctor told her to eat more bananas or take potassium supplements. The cramps went away!!!

Hopefully you mean muscle cramps?  If it's a menstruation problem I can't help.\n\nMuscle cramps can be wiped-out by regular stretching, making sure you're well hydrated, and taking a multi-vitamin daily.\n\nHowever, if you're in your teens and growing fast, there's nothing you can do about it.  It's just something that happens to all of us.

This sounds very familiar to me!  The same thing happened to me in my pregnancies #2 and #3.  Here's what my doctor advised me:  first, the cramps are a sign that your body needs more potassium.  Eat more bananas; that will help restore the missing potassium to your body.  Second, when you get into bed and the cramps start, what you do is (this may be hard to describe in written words; wish I could just show you how) straighten the cramping leg all the way out, while pulling your toes in, toward you.  In other words, you want to straighten your leg, pushing your heel "out" as far as you can while pulling your toes "in" as far as you can.  Hold that for a few seconds, until the cramp goes away.  This works; I know it did for me.

Not to scare you, but my husband had leg cramps for months.  He later developed a blod clot in his leg.  Dr told him that the cramps were likely caused by the clot forming.  If I were you, I'd discuss this issue with your doctor as soon as possible.

It could be that your bicep is very tired from whatever you or doing. Also there could be some slight nerve damage. As far as stopping the spasms, just try not to use that whole arm area a lot.

You could have muscle spasm where your muscle does not stop firing.  This could be because of overload of work out or an injury.  It generally stops by itself.  But if it continues for more than two weeks you should consider seeing a doctor.

Cramps indicate that you have been doing something wrong with your body before each run.  This could be a result of a number of minor things, like eating too much before, or not waiting long enough for your stomach to digest the food.  For me, lack of sleep usually causes me cramps in the side of the abs, which hurt terribly bad.  Also, try eating some 2-3 hours before your run.  Excercising your body before a run is also equally important.

If you weren't having a killer cramp, I would say that you might have an anxiety disorder.  It really sounds like you should see a doctor because there are a lot of things that can present those symptoms. Can you tell me where the cramp is? I have many medical books or you might want to research it on a medical website.

Try eating a banana. These are good for muscle cramps. They are high in potassium.
