I get a tightening of the lower leg muscle below the knee at night that wakes me up. It doesn t occur every night but most nights. It s not limited to just one leg, but both. Fortunatey,ithe tightening of the muscle doesn t occur in both legs on the same night. Sometimes it feels like the muscle above the ankle is twisted , or I get the classic charley horse in the back of the leg. What is this?
Hi.... The tightness what you experience is called as muscle cramps. These can occur to you if you are sweating too much and not replacing enough water...working in a bit hot and humid condition... If your didn't have enough strength in your muscles...and you keep pushing them to their limit... I recommend you to do. Lot of stretching for your legs... Swimming whenever possible... Chat Doctor. .ORS. Do endurance training for your muscles... Avoid working in extreme weather conditions... Take necessary precautions if happen to work in those conditions... Hope this is helpful for you... Kindly revert in case you need any further help in this regard.
