Hey I was wondering what is the difference when having pain? How do you know if it’s a cramp and not just general soreness?
In: Other
Soreness is more of a gradual deep ache, it could also be a sharp ache. Generally not sudden or instantaneous. Like if my foot is sore, I’m going to want to keep off of it and let it rest. Maybe I’ll want to ice it. I’ll be able to sit and read or watch TV or go to bed even though I’m sore.
But if I get a foot cramp, I will literally throw myself off of the couch, the bed, a reclining chair to try and get it to stop. It will be the most sudden, out of the blue, with no pain before it, sharp intense pain that you won’t be able to focus on anything but trying to get it to stop. I would never be able to fall asleep with a foot cramp. And I will bend my foot in every direction trying to find the right way to make the cramps stop.
Does that help?
