If i often get calf muscle cramps, whats the problem?
I’m sorry that I don’t know a medical reason for why you are getting muscle cramps, but maybe my personal experience can help a little bit. I used to run everyday. If I wasn’t careful I could get calf cramps, shin splints, all kinds of things you don’t want. Generally when I did these things it helped: I found that if I at least stretched between workouts it was okay. Also don’t stretch cold muscles. For convenience I usually did it after jogging for about 10 minutes. Right before I worked out, but when I was warmed up. Maybe for you walk for a bit, but stretch before you do anything ‘brisk’. Stretch gently. Don’t bounce or strain too much. Gradually it will get easier. This is the worst part, but it really helped. If ever I do get some cramp, I will massage it out. It usually hurts a lot, especially in one specific spot. I work on it until it seems to kind of ‘spread out’. Massage by pressing, but I mostly kind of pinch, if that makes sense. The kinds of stretches seem pretty typical.
