leg cramp?

first sorry if i posted in wrong section

Anyone know what causes leg cramps?
i was driving today and got bad cramp in my leg so pulled over and got my dad to drive(im learner driver anyway) it since aint gone
my dad said its because im lacking salt as mixed race(me)/black(him) people need more salt in there body then white as my moms white and trys to avoid as much salt as possible i dont get much salt(does this make sense)
i heard dehydration is causes it aswel

anyway no how true the above it also how i can avoid it specially while driving

it's due to the constant leg action that you are performing.. a lack of salt and sometime it can be due to water retntion as well as dehydration.. try drinking some orange squash with a bit of salt in it.. or lucozade or the like.. and try and stretch you leg out.. which muscle is it?!

pregnancy can cause leg cramps too lol.
but it's probably from the repetitive leg movement, and yeh, could be from lack of salt (unless you already eat a lot of salt, in which case it probably isn't that) :wink:
