Immobility
Since the pain tends to be severe, many individuals find themselves immobile for a short period of time after they get a cramp. While experiencing the cramp, they're generally unable to move, but they may also have difficulty moving for a few moments or even minutes afterward.
After an individual is able to move again, they may still feel a slight pressure on their leg or foot muscles for another minute or so.
