What works for me is this...

> Most cramps go away after a few minutes.

No, they don't.

> It is possible to anticipate their occurrence

No, not true; they're always unexpected.

> and relieve the pain.

Not true.

> If they become recurrent or are associated with other symptoms,
> it is recommended to see a doctor.

When you say "doctor", you're pushing the services of "MDs" I neither need nor want.

Further, your post includes a plug to (your) pharmacy!

> A cramp causes severe pain.
> It can be quickly relieved with a few simple actions:

No, this is not true.

> stop the activity involved in the onset of the cramp;

Read the OP's post again... these cramps aren't caused by any activity.

> stretch and massage the muscle affected by the cramp.
> For example, if it is a calf cramp, lift your leg and
> pull the toe up (bring the toe towards you). Once you

Advices like these are peddled by physical therapists "Bob and Brad" and many others on YouTube. However, their advices have never worked for my leg cramps.

> rehydrate by drinking plenty of water;

Water-drinking has never worked for my leg cramps.

Here at Curezone we educate but don't medicate.

The solution that works for my leg cramps is self-control. The usual issue is the evil of carbohydrates. Example: of fruits, I eat only two servings per day, as opposed to 10 or 15 serving per day. Tweet
