Weakness
Many types of bodily pain can make an individual feel weak, and leg cramps are no different. Those who develop leg cramps due to strenuous exercise may feel especially weak and fatigued.
Rest is a vital step in muscle recovery. Even if a person only experiences one leg cramp incident, they should not exercise the affected area until they regain their strength. Otherwise, more intense leg cramps or more serious injuries can develop.
