My muscles were cramping a lot for quite awhile and when I researched causes I found about 100 different reasons. I knew my potassium and calcium were in good form but landed on muscle fatigue. Once I started weight lifting regularily the cramping went away for the most part.
If you didn't train as usual maybe this is all it is BUT we always need to keep stocked up on the calcium and potassium supplies too! AND keep the electrolytes in balance
Glad to hear that the swelling has receded - I have had 2 Bartholin cysts and they aren't too fun but fortunately treatable, if the swelling is going down on its own it probably isn't a cyst, I haven't been able to rid myself of them. Both times needed surgery (relatively minor but surgery non-the less)
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
