About Cramping (the broader symptom)

This summary describes Cramping, the broader symptom. Finger Cramping is a more specific topic.

Muscle cramps are sudden, involuntary contractions or spasms in one or more muscles. MedlinePlus says they are very common, often occur after exercise, and may happen at night, especially in the legs. A cramp can occur in any muscle, most often in the thighs, feet, hands, arms, abdomen, or along the rib cage.

When to seek care

MedlinePlus says muscle cramps are usually harmless and go away after a few minutes. Contact a health care provider if cramps are severe, happen frequently, do not get better with stretching and drinking enough fluids, last a long time, or come with swelling, redness, warmth, or muscle weakness.
