Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Activities that might help prevent
muscle cramps include:
• Drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration
• Stretching your thigh muscles or riding a stationary bicycle for a few minutes
• Massaging the cramped muscle with your hands or with ice
• Walking or jiggling the leg
• Taking a hot shower or warm bath
• These cramps at times may be associated with
POTASSIUM deficiency and so foods such as bananas, potatoes, prune juice and dried fruit are to be taken as dietary supplement.
• Also, calcium fortified foods like seafood and fish, almonds, flaxseed, oats, prunes, sesame seeds, tofu and kale can help to stave off
muscle pain & spasm.
• Avoid acidic foods and drinks like tomatoes and vinegar which blocks the body’s natural ability to absorb calcium leading to muscle aches &
muscle fatigue.
A detailed clinical examination and appropriate investigations are needed to establish the correct cause of your spasms. I suggest you to consult a Internal medicine specialist for further workup and management.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
