Calf Muscle Cramps
It happens usually at night while I am asleep. Whenever I stretch my legs in sleep my calf muscles hurt a lot as if some knot is being tied inside. The pain if unbearable and after it subsides the calf area still hurts and hurts for several days. What could possibly be the reason and what should I do? Can this be a side effect of Medicines that I am taking or some other reason? Should I consult my doctor?
