What Causes Involuntary Muscle Cramping?
What causes involuntary muscle cramping? It occurs in my fingers, and legs most frequently and is quite painful. The affected area gets stiff and often assumes unnatural shapes that I have to manually break to get any relief, or stand up on the leg/foot affected and hope I can move to change the shape/weight distribution.

Check your calcium level in blood.
Low magnesium level or electrolytes imbalance cause muscle cramps.
Any neurological disorder may cause this type of problems. Peripheral neuropathy can cause muscle cramps.
Consent a physician for further diagnosis.
Vitamins deficiency may cause this problem.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
