Question

Someone please tell me the difference between a muscle spasm and a cramp.

Answer 1

"Muscle spasms occur when a skeletal muscle contracts and does not relax. Muscle spasms are forceful and involuntary. A sustained muscle spasm is called a muscle cramp. "

Answer 2

Yeah I saw that on the internet too, but I don't understand it. Is that all?

Answer 3

A muscle spasm is usually just a quick contraction of your muscles.
On the other hand, a muscle cramp lasts for an extended period of time. Cramps are caused by muscles that will not relax.

Answer 4

Hmm. Thanks.
