Muscle twinge (5)

I believe the answer is:

cramp

(Other definitions for cramp that I've seen before include "restraint" , "Sudden painful tightening of a muscle" , "Involuntary muscular contraction" , "Painful muscle problem" , "Muscle spasm" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Newsday.com and The Mirror.
