How Can A Cramp Be Stopped?
- Most muscle cramps can be stopped if the muscle is stretched, either by standing up or massaging.
- Stretch and massage a cramped leg by straightening it and pointing toes upward, while gently rubbing the cramped area to help the muscle relax.
- For a calf cramp (charley horse) - put weight on the affected leg and bend the knee slightly. For a thigh cramp, keep both legs straight and lean forward at the waist, using a chair to steady yourself.
- You may also undo a cramp with ice. Ice is both a pain reliever and an anti-inflammatory. Try massaging the area with ice for no more than 10 minutes or until the area is bright red, which indicates that blood cells have returned to heat the cramped muscle. If ice is too uncomfortable, try heat. Heat improves superficial blood circulation and makes muscles more flexible, so some people find that heat is more soothing for muscle cramps than ice. Try a heating pad for 20 minutes at a time or even a warm shower or bath. Make sure to massage the muscle with your hands following ice or heat. My experience with heat is far more better than ice to stop the cramp.
How Can Cramps Be Prevented?
- Keep your body adequately hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids may help to prevent reoccurring cramps, as fluids help muscles contract and relax. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water everyday, preferably non-caffeinated drinks.
- Daily stretching may help prevent nocturnal leg cramps. Before sleep, stand just short of a meter from a wall with hands on the wall. While bending one knee, lean towards the wall and hold for ten seconds keeping the heels pressed flat to the floor before straightening the knee. Repeat using the other leg. Each leg should be stretched up to ten times for best effect.
If you have frequent cramps, I suggest you to seek medical advice. A doctor may prescribe a suitable muscle relaxant and he will check to ensure that there are no underlying problems causing the cramps.
