What causes muscle cramps?
A muscle cramp is a sudden and involuntary contraction of one or more of your muscles. If you've ever been awakened in the night or stopped in your tracks by a sudden charley horse, you know that muscle cramps can cause severe pain.

You usually can treat muscle cramps at home with self-care measures.
