MUSCLE CRAMPS

MUSCLE CRAMPS

Personal experience in cramps

They occur at rest, often during sleep, but also after voluntary contraction of a muscle already in a position of maximum shortening. They give up most often by gradually stretching the muscle in question.
 
Symptoms of muscle cramps:
 
• sudden sharp pain
• Muscle Spasm
• It is located often in flexor arms or legs (eg cramp gastrocnemius, flexor of the foot)
 
POSSIBLE THEORY:

My theory is that the cramp is a regression nervous relax state, naturally invonlontary for muscle at rest.
When we are at rest the muscles are normally at rest and consequently, they adapt by natural reflex an invonlontary  state of relaxation.
For there to cramp, the muscle at rest, becomes'' voluntary'' by executing a fictitious order that he is not physically assigned to it at this momemt, but only in a the brain.
It is as if we say'' I'll get up and start running immediately.'' but without executing the order physically.
It is this brain order which put the body in a state of muscle cramp.
In other words, the muscle at rest (at night for example) receives a signal to be active,( threw an involantary brain signal) but the muscle in this position is not in a state of doing it.
So this is primarily a disturbance of the nervous system, which may be from  multiple causes.
