Sometimes, when I stretch randomly into a certain position my leg feels like it's breaking. The pain remains for a few hours if I stretch it again.
Any reasons why? I'm teenager and it hurts immensly whenever I get into a certain position

the biggest thing is stretching the muscle that's cramping. are you drinking 60 oz + of water a day? cramps are a common sign of dehydration. if you also have frequent headaches that's what's causing it. also, try eating more bananas. potassium is the chemical needed for the muscle to stop contracting.

You could be dificiency of magnesium in your body. Try to eat more dark green leafy vegies such as brocolli, kale, bok choy etc. A Magnesium dificiency can cause muscle cramps. A lack of calcium too, is attributed to muscle cramps since it is necessary for normal muscle contraction. Calcium and magnesium work together to regulate muscle contractions and the conduction of nerve impulses. Other nutrients that can cause muscle pain or cramps when dificient are the B vitamins Thiamine (B1), pantothenic acid (B5), biotin and vitamin C. Drink water as much as you can at least 8 glasses a day.
Hope your health improving soon. God bless.
