What is a cramp?

  • Muscle cramps are an abrupt, painful contraction or over shortening that can cause significant discomfort and immobility that resembles paralysis.
  • They are frequently related to pregnancy, vigorous exercise or overexertion, aging (common in elderly people), or they may be a symptom of a motor neuron condition.
  • Both smooth muscles and skeletal muscles may experience cramps.
  • Skeletal muscle cramps can be brought on by overworking the muscles or by a lack of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, or magnesium (a condition known as hyponatremia) (also known as hypomagnesemia).
  • Some skeletal muscle cramps have an underlying cause that is unknown.
