5.Possible Cause: Poor Circulation
If your cramps get worse when you walk, your muscles may not be getting enough blood. That can happen as you get older or if you’re not very active. It also can be caused by a condition called claudication — when your arteries are narrower than they should be and blood can’t get through easily. Talk with your doctor if you notice this kind of thing — they can help you figure out what’s going on.
6.Possible Cause: Monthly Cycle
Some women get cramps during their periods. That happens because a woman’s body makes certain hormones that make the muscles in their uterus tighten up. This helps push out blood and tissue, but it can also cause cramping. Over-the-counter pain relievers usually help, but talk with your doctor if they don’t work well for you.
