Cramps happen when muscles tighten up suddenly. It's like when you're playing a game and your leg muscles just feel like they want to be super tight all at once! Sometimes it feels like someone is squeezing your muscle really hard, making it hurt.
Examples
- You're sitting on the couch watching TV when your calf suddenly feels like it's been tied in knots.
- Your toes curl up tightly while you're asleep and wake you with a start.
- During a long run, your thigh muscle becomes so tight that you can barely walk.
