What Causes Muscle Spasms In Legs And Arms?
Question: I get charley horses dailey in hands legs arms
Brief Answer:
Take juicy fruits like citrus fruits
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Charley horses or muscle spasms can occur when somehow you develop an electrolyte imbalance. I would insist you to take juicy fruits like citrus fruits. They contain plenty of potassium which should help in proper functioning of the muscles and in reduction of the cramps. You also need to increase total fluid (water) intake and to take plenty of ORS (oral rehydration solution). Taking multivitamins will not help.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
