The vast majority of people have ever suffered from a sudden, involuntary, uncontrolled muscle pain known as cramps or spasms.

Cramps can affect any muscle in the body but are most common in the calves, thighs, feet and hands.

Usually, the cramps are not related to any kind of disorder and may have its origin in the execution of any unusual or excessive movement of the muscles, exposure to cold or stress.

People most likely to suffer muscle cramps are the athletes when they are subjected to intense or long workouts and the elderly due to normal muscle loss (atrophy), which starts in the mid-40s and accelerates with inactivity .
