Hi, Question regarding cramping. im 37 yr old male, avid weightlifter/amateur bodybuilder. I experience cramps in my toes and abdominal region fairly often. The toe cramps arent painful and go away within 30 seconds. The lower ab and oblique cramps feel like a golfball sized compact tightening of the muscles and can be brought on by simple act such as twisting and turning during normal daily activities. They can last up to a minute or two and leave me writhing around trying to get it to unclentch. I try to drink at least a gallon of water a day due to the vitamins and legal supplements I take. Aside from water and bananas and not overtraining my stomach muscles, what can I do to mitigate these cramps. Thanks for your help
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The cramps and particularly the history of goofball sized compact tightening in fact can be a real mass or a cyst or a lipoma inside the muscle mass or a small hernia. I would advise you to get a physical examination done by a General Surgeon and evaluation by a high resolution ultrasonography. IF indicated get operated and you will be dined. The cramps at the toe may be just incidental, do not worry if there eye no other associated symptoms of lower limb weakening or so.
