Versión en español:
Los calambres en la pierna y en los músculos (como el “dolor de caballo”) son bastante comunes. Con frecuencia dan de noche o al hacer ejercicio, sobre todo cuando hace mucho calor. Los calambres se pueden deber a la deshidratación o a una baja en los niveles de potasio del cuerpo. Otra causa es usar un músculo sin estirarlo bien.
Versión en inglés (verla en el link adjunto):
Leg and muscle cramps ("charley horse" or "stitch") are common. They often occur during exercise, especially during hot weather, or at night. Dehydration or low levels of potassium in the body and using a muscle that is not stretched well may cause cramps.

: Sorry, don't mean to be rude, but a stomach cramp can be caused by many things, upset stomach and gastritis, for example

it\'s \'stitches\' a stitch is a suture.

not that I believe that \'stitches\' apply here but just a general correction to what seems to be a common misconception

Ruth the cramps could be inside, for example, in the intestines [gas] or because of menstruation and you would still say 'stomach cramps'
