A certain muscle contracts sharply, and for some reason it cannot contract itself, therefore it reduces the calf of the legs. Sensations can be very different, but, in any case, they are very unpleasant. Is it worth it in such situations to rush for help from a specialist or can you deal with the problem yourself. And why does he get his calves down?
Often people complain that their legs are brought together at night. Most likely, the reasons should be sought in a busy work schedule, constant workload and, as a result, a heavy load on the legs. If you spend all day on your feet, be sure to make your shoes as comfortable as possible. Wrong shoes, uncomfortable, narrow, and even with heels - this is the first factor due to which it reduces the calves of the legs. What to do if such a phenomenon interferes with sleep? Use foot baths with a relaxing effect, contrast douche and massage.
Why is it calving your legs when you are in cold water? Under the influence of cold muscles begin to tremble. Entering the water, we set them in motion and thereby give an additional load. Add here also the fear of the appearance of the first unpleasant sensations, and it will immediately become clear why he brings his calves during immersion in cold water. Usually in such situations, pain can be relieved by changing position and applying an energetic massage to the reduced muscle area. To prevent such phenomena, yoga or stretching is recommended. This will help relax muscles, improve blood flow and tone the walls of blood vessels.
Very often reduces calves in women in the last stages of pregnancy. The reason should be sought in a certain lack of trace elements and vitamins. In addition, at the end of pregnancy it becomes especially difficult to walk. Give your feet more rest and be sure to eat dairy products, cheese and cottage cheese every day. The attending physician may advise an additional intake of vitamin complexes and other drugs, but they should not be used alone without his recommendations.
If you do not know why calves your legs, be sure to pay attention to your menu, perhaps the problem arose due to its imbalance. A sufficient amount of dairy products, fruits and greens should always be present in the diet. Sometimes the cause must be sought in high blood pressure. After its normalization, the symptoms disappear. If this phenomenon occurs too often, be sure to contact a specialist and pass the necessary tests. The doctor can prescribe an ultrasound of the veins, a scan and a doppler. Not always, but it is still possible that this is a symptom of diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver, pathology of the brain or thyroid gland, diabetes or atherosclerosis.
But most often it is precisely because of overwork, the presence of excess weight, a deficiency in our body of potassium or magnesium, dehydration, stress or overstrain reduces calves. What to do in such a situation? There are tons of medical anticonvulsants available at the pharmacy. Treatment should always be comprehensive, therefore, along with the use of calcium and vitamin D, without which it can not be absorbed, be sure to use physical exercises and massage.
In such situations, as always, alternative therapy comes to the rescue. Brew natural tea from the color of linden, birch buds and spring adonis. Fresh lemon juice helps a lot. Rub their eggs daily, in the morning, and always before bedtime. Healers especially recommend the use of mustard oil. It helps to relax a tense place and the rapid disappearance of pain. Pay yourself a little attention, relax more often, watch for food, and discomfort will leave you.
