About Spasm (the broader symptom)
This summary describes Spasm, the broader symptom. Superficial Spasm is a more specific topic.
A muscle cramp is a muscle that gets tight without you trying to tighten it and then does not relax. MedlinePlus says cramps may involve all or part of one or more muscles and are different from muscle twitches. The muscles it names most often are the calf, the hamstrings, and the quadriceps.

When to seek care
MedlinePlus says to contact a provider if muscle cramps are severe, do not go away with simple stretching, keep coming back, or last a long time.
