What Is McArdle Disease?
6. Muscle Cramps
Muscle cramps are a phenomenon where a muscle involuntarily contracts. It can be a very painful condition and the patient will often have little to no control over it. It is common in sports people who are not in optimal shape, while less active people can also experience it. It is also a symptom of McArdle disease.
Another potential symptom of McArdle disease is stiffness of the muscles. Patients with the syndrome are also likely to find that their muscles are weaker than they otherwise would be. These symptoms alone might not make the patient suspect they have a medical problem, depending on how severe their symptoms are.
