How long does a cramp in the thigh last?
The involuntary and painful cramping of the thigh muscles can last a few seconds or even several minutes. The cramps occur mainly at night or during or after heavy strain on the muscle group. It can also occur as a one-time occurrence because you may have strained the muscles too much during the day.
Or it may be that the muscles are regularly cramped, as is the case with electrolyte disorders. If the cramp in the thigh occurs regularly, a doctor should be consulted to find the cause and treat it accordingly. Normally, cramps caused by a magnesium deficiency, for example, disappear after a few days to a few weeks after taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium has no effect on you?
