I am suffering from body cramps from last 4-5 days. The cramps are from legs or shoulders or arms and also from my back. I don't know why this is happening. The cramp take place at the time when I stretch my body. Like while I'm sleeping I stretch my legs I get a very painful cramp that I just wake up from my sleep. Please tell what should I do?
