My.calf is tender no red or green bruising and not warm where the tenderness is.
hi shaybaye

muscle cramp can be due to various causes out of which most common is dehydration as we see in the athletes and player. secondly it could be also because of low calcium and vitamin , cramps can also be due to anaemia
