2 questions, please answer. The first one is..?
The other is: Whats wrong with me? I am 22 yrs old, and my hands cramp and get stiff from time to time, my leg are always cramping like when Im sleeping at night, or trying to, I get these wicked charlie horses in my legs and have to get up and try to walk them out. Is this normal for someone so young?
Answer:
First: it's because you both answer and ask questions, not just ask. This way there would be a kinda balance and everybody gets answers too. Because if you want to keep on asking, you should keep on answering too.
Second: I think this could be a sign of lack of iron in your blood, get a blood test, see a doctor. It's pretty normal for females, but don't consume iron pills without consulting a Doctor.
Good luck!
eat banans and get some iron pills (got the same prob)
there are a few things that could cause this.
anemia, poor circulation, thyroid embalance, and auto immune disease. I would see the doctor and have some routine labs done. such as a B-12 level, hemoglobin, ferratin level, CBC, Chem. Profile and a TSH.
I am 24 and when I was about 21 or 22 I did a lot of running. I did about 6 miles a day and I never stretched. When I would sleep I would get extremely painful charlie horses. So maybe that could be it, if you work out pretty extensively. I don't get them anymore because I got lazy haha.
have you ever tried to donate blood? well you should try. reason why is because they test your iron before you can donate.
you sound anemic to me (i am anemic - pregnancy induced - but same symptoms: stiffness, soreness, tightness, etc.)
anemia also causes you to be tired and have dizziness.
anemia is easy to treat (taking a daily vitamin or iron supplement), however you should see your doctor if, in fact, your problem is iron.
good luck!
