13. Osteoarthritis
When you do not use your muscles properly, they may become overexcited. As mentioned, sitting for too long or standing for too long can cause you to experience cramps in your legs and your feet. At times, nerves in the legs or feet may malfunction as well. When this occurs, you may experience cramping. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. People who suffer from osteoarthritis will often experience pain in their joints.
However, some people suffer from this disease that will also experience muscle spasms, which in turn will lead to cramping. If you are diagnosed with osteoarthritis, there is an inflammation of the joints. This may occur anywhere in the body. If you have severe osteoarthritis and experience muscle cramping, it could cause further nerve damage. Your doctor may prescribe medications to help alleviate some of the pain that you are experiencing as a result of osteoarthritis.
