5. Resting the Limb
A lot can be said for simple rest, and it’s often one of the best ways to bring relief to a wide variety of different conditions and symptoms. Muscle spasms are no different, and if you are experiencing them while actively busy doing something, then it’s likely that whatever your doing was behind the cause of the cramp, to begin with.
Whether we’re talking about lifting a heavy container or sitting in the same spot for too long, putting any of your muscles under strain can instantly turn into muscle cramps.
Whatever you might be doing when you experience related muscle cramping, it’s always advised to stop before it results in any further serious injury. Rest the limb, apply heat and look for the cause of the cramping before you continue and risk your health.
If resting the limb doesn’t work or the pain persists, it’s possible that you might have injured something. Stay off the affected body part and see a doctor if the pain becomes more severe instead of less.
