Poor blood circulation: Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the legs (peripheral artery disease).
Neuropathy: especially in diabetic patients, where the nerves responsible for sending signals to the muscles are damaged.
Kidney and liver problems: which lead to an imbalance of salts and toxins in the body.
Thyroid disorders: whether hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
When should you be worried and consult a doctor?
Although muscle strain is often benign, there are signs that require immediate medical intervention:
If the spasms are frequent and occur daily , preventing you from getting enough sleep.
If it is accompanied by swelling in the leg or a change in skin color (a tendency towards blueness or extreme redness).
If you experience persistent muscle weakness even after the spasm has subsided.
If muscle strain does not respond to simple first aid measures such as stretching.
