Ever get TWO seizing muscle cramps at once?

Was bending over a bit ago to get something and all of a sudden my stomach muscles started seizing and cramping realllyyyy bad...SEARING pain. So i bend into the cramp more, on my knees now, and put my left arm down on floor to hold myself up a bit. Aftet a minute my ARM starts spasming from holding all my weight on the one arm. Oh just AWFUL. It would buckle when I tried to get up. After several minutes they both eased and I sat down. I still feel jabs of pain in arm but I think its ok. Ever experience this??? Ughh😫

Yep. Drink more water... with a pinch of salt.

@walabby and 2 bananas. The potassium will help the muscle spasms .

Aha I’d say maybe you’ve been pushing yourself too much? Exercising too much I mean

@IamBack Ouch that sucks. I know ice helps but when its seized in that moment all you think is the pain and which way to undo the cramp ugh

@Coralmist ice has been my best friend for quite some time lol and I can completely relate!

@IamBack Whats ironic is earlier today I was prescribed flexeril for pain in my face and jaw from TMJ, but its used for any muscle pain so at least I have a few if i did need them for my arm tomorrow! If it still aches

Are you dehydrated? I always drink water when I get a cramp. I have had my arm, hand, and fingers seize up, also calves, feet, and stomach, but not all at once. Drinking water seems to help, especially if I’ve had too much sodium. I hope you feel better now.

@Carissimi I actually was dehydrated but, i think it seized because of the weird angle I bent down at. Then my arm cramping so much was no picnic!! Ughh Im feeling better now..ty🌺

It might be from lack of electrolytes. It has happened to me before too
