Why might someone with a cramp need to be given pure oxygen?

Muscle cramps result by build up of lactic acid in muscles that must go through anaerobic respiration when immediate energy required surpasses what the muscles can provide using aerobic respiration. Providing O2 drives aerobic reaction, providing O2 to the muscles and replacing lactic acid production. Increased delivery of O2 will weaken contractions causing cramps
