Liam Neeson health update after actor's 'agonising' pain spurred by caffeine intake
Irish actor Liam Neeson is known for his tough guy role in the Taken trilogy. But behind the scenes, the now 70-year-old was crippled by "agonising" cramps in his left, which the actor later found out were caused by drinking too much caffeine.
The actor, who recently delighted fans with a surprise cameo in Derry Girls, spoke out about his own pain with leg cramps a few years ago. In a substantial amount of pain Neeson was desperate to get some help to relieve his cramps, which a massage therapist was able to do, Express UK reports. This increased denseness in the muscle restricts the blood flow, meaning that muscle is not able to get its waste products flushed out as well in comparison to when the muscle is relaxed.
These crystals then rub against pain-sensitive muscle fibres in the area of the affected muscle causing severe pain, and over time debilitating symptoms on the body as essential nutrients cannot be delivered. This is connected to caffeine as most researchers have shown that the concentration of blood lactate increases after caffeine consumption.
