How to treat leg cramps?

Cramps are a common phenomenon in life, especially leg cramps. Leg cramps may seem like a minor matter and will go away after a while or a few days. However, if you have frequent cramps, it is a problem and will have a great impact on your life. It can cause great harm to the patient and is very painful when you have cramps. So, how do you treat leg cramps? Now let me tell you about it.

Here are two methods that can instantly relieve spasms and eliminate severe pain. If you have someone to help you, the results will be faster.

Method one: Sit up instead of lying down, straighten the cramped leg, hold the front of your foot tightly with your hands, endure the severe pain, and rotate the ankle joint of the cramped leg outwards, and the severe pain will stop immediately. The movements should be continuous when rotating, and you should complete one circle in one breath without pausing in between. When rotating, if it is the left leg, swing it counterclockwise; if it is the right leg, swing it clockwise: If you have someone to help, because the treatment is face to face, the treatment direction is exactly opposite, and the rotation direction of the foot joint remains unchanged. The key is to pull the foot outward, then fold it toward the thigh and rotate it a circle. Use force when rotating, and lift the sole of the foot as far as possible.

Method 2: Press the gastrocnemius nerve root. On both sides of the fossa on the inside of the knee joint (or below the fossa), there is a place which is the attachment point of the gastrocnemius head, and the nerve root trunk leading to the gastrocnemius muscle is here. When your calf cramps, use your thumb to feel for the main root of the hard and protruding muscles on both sides of the fossa, and then press this area forcefully. The director's excited nerves will calm down, the cramps will stop, and the severe pain will disappear. The above two methods are very effective. If you get cramps while swimming, using the above two methods to relieve pain will be somewhat difficult in terms of operation. Therefore, the method to treat cramps while swimming is still to use your hands to pull the big toe towards the body. When bending the big toe, stretch your thigh as far forward as possible and push your heel forward at the same time. It is often not effective after just one application and can be repeated until the symptoms are relieved. Of course, each time you pull, you must take a deep breath before diving into the water. The method to prevent calf cramps is relatively simple. You can just massage your calves before and during activities, take a short break during activities, and massage your calves after activities, before swimming, and before going to bed.

People who often suffer from cramps can prevent them from swimming by mashing ginger, applying the residue and juice to the calves, and then massaging thoroughly. This will produce ideal results.

Cramps during swimming are quite common. To prevent such incidents, you should massage your calves and prepare yourself well before swimming. If you walk too much during the day, you should also relax your calves appropriately. Eat more foods containing calcium, preferably before going to bed at night, as they are absorbed quickly. Eat foods such as milk, eggs, fish and shrimp, but don't eat too much, which will affect your sleep.
