Medications
Medications
There are certain medications that can cause
muscle cramps. These are some common prescription
drugs like statins, medications with a diuretic
effect or medicines designed to alter your blood
pressure. They often tend to interfere with the
electrolyte balance in your body, no matter which
muscle pain relief gel you use.

Electrolyte imbalance
What is it?
There needs to be a delicate balance of
electrolytes to function ideally for the apt
functioning of the nerve cells. These
electrolytes come with magnesium, sodium and
calcium that play a very important role in
carrying electrical signals across cell walls. An
imbalance of electrolytes causes imbalanced in
our nerves making them over sensitized, which
causes sudden cramps.

Dehydration
Dehydration is one of the most neglected reasons
of cramps. Why? Because it tends to upset the
delicate balance of electrolytes in your cells.
It also disrupts the transmission of electrical
signals between the nerves in our muscles and
eventually leads to the triggering muscle cramps
or spasm.

Muscle Fatigue

• No matter which cool pack gel you use, heavy
  exercising never fails in causing certain muscles
  to become overloaded or fatigued. This triggers
  the nerves inside your muscles and stops the
  inhibitory responses that are designed to prevent
  sudden changes in muscle tension. This causes
  sudden contraction or cramp.

6
Sports Activities

• Most of you indulge in a number of sports
  activities and most of these activities are too
  intense and can lead to muscle cramps and severe
  pain. Sports is a must, but it is important to
  take it slow while you reach the intense part.
