An 18yo has suddenly developed severe leg cramps. Calves, lats. Never had a problem before. 17-21yo is the worst time apparently. Was playing colts had no problems. Played reserves last year had no problems. Played reserves this year and they began late in the game, and continued each week. Went back and played a colts game and it even happened there.
Normally the extra duration of the senior footy would be the most likely antagonist. But recently it happened in colts as well. Happens in the 4th qtr. After one particular game he wasnt game to drive home as he was getting cramp even just getting into his car. I had to help him into his car!
*Has upped his salt, magnesium, hydration, used pickle juice, etc. All proven useless.
*Looking to see what he has done differently the past 2 months; He did fast (no food or water) for a month (Days only), and also took up Basketball mid week.
Anyone have any clues? Anything that worked for you?
