What Causes Severe Cramps And Muscle Tightness In Right Calf?
Hello,
I have a pretty severe cramp and can feel muscle hardness in my right calf. It came on earlier today and is not responding to stretching. What should I do, vis-a-vis exercise, stretching and/or physiotherapy to better manage this and reduce repeat occurrences?
Thank you.
Martina

Hello welcome to HCM. General advise is You can do regular exercise and see that you take lots of water. Dehydration also cause this. If the cramp is not relieved even after a day better show it to physician to rule out any thrombosis in the vein.Take care. Good health
