Common Questions and Answers about Causes of foot cramps toes

foot

Avatar m tn My feet sometimes cramp when I curl my toes down. It hurts a lot, and I can break out of it by stretching my toes out again. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
335728 tn?1331414412 It happens when I lift my feet off the floor, when I am lying in bed and the worst is when I am driving I get cramps in the toes on my right foot and it is a little scary...I am afraid that I will lift my foot off the brake or push down on the gas inappropriately when these cramps hit! Any ideas out there?
Avatar f tn Causes for me are usually overexertion during the day (for me it happens mostly at night), improper stretching and dehydration. But there is a long list of what causes it. It is usually just one foot for me at a time. Sometimes it goes up further in the foot and calf. Wonder if that is what you are talking about? Good idea to ask that, Barb!
Avatar m tn I will be relaxing and all of a sudden I get severe, very painful muscle spasms that bend my foot so bad it feels like my foot is going to break right in the arch and my little toe and the toe next to it usually spread out in some kind of spasm spreading out to the side and my other toes turn under. I have no idea what is happening. I have to grab my foot and really force it back to a normal position as well as my toes, which is very painful. Then it will start all over again.
Avatar f tn My foot cramps too because I curly toes when it's really good and the after climaxing I relax and sometimes get a major foot cramp haha no big deal. If he had an electrolyte imbalance the cramps wouldn't only occur after sex.
1218873 tn?1300091216 sometimes the spasms are top of foot but close to the base of my toes. it makes my toes pull up. Sometimes it is right in the middle of the top of my foot or even like my ankle has a spasm. I don't know if that is really possible but that is what it feels like. This happens on my left foot and that leg and foot don't work right. so i sit and put my right foot over the left to move it up and under me so it pulls my toes downward. it helps some.
Avatar n tn You might be low on the mineral Iron, it causes the feet and toes to cramp up and hurt. So, take a vitamin with iron in it a few times a week, and see if that works. If not, since it happens when you walk, could be you need new or more supportive shoes... one time I wore a pair of running shoes too long, and a shoenail worked its way up slightly into my heel, and took me a while to realize that's how come my heel was killing me!
1503777 tn?1289497132 My husband has these constant terrible cramps, culvultions in his left foot. He has had this for the past +- 10 years and it is just getting worse and worse. It is really becoming so vigerous he is in constant pain and agony. All doctors and specialists he ha seen doesn't know what causes it and just say they have never seen anything like it. No medication helps and we are really getting despondent because nobody knows what is causing this. This only happens when he is awake.
Avatar n tn every once in awhile, while i am sleeping i will feel the beginning of my toes or ankle in only one foot begnning to cramp up. the pain last for about 1-2 min. and then it completely is gone with no mafter affects., What causes this.Sometimese it's 2-3 nights in a row and then nothing for months.
Avatar f tn Hi all, In the past 2 days I have experiences the most painful and uncomfortable cramps in the bottom of my foot, my toes are curling up and are stiff. They are coming about 4 times per day and lasting 30-40 minutes of agony each time. Any ideas of what this is????
9353825 tn?1403257976 Since that time of not taking Metformin ,,, I have had trouble with my legs swelling up with normal walk around the house, cramps in the left thigh area and also my cramps extending to my feet and toes ... cramps are extending to the instep of my foot also .
Avatar f tn The cramps are either very strong or weak but repeated (I can have cramps on both legs at the same time). Foot cramps can get to 15 cramps on a row. L-carnitine had effect for one or two weeks but then came back to the same.Is this a muscle metabolic disorder? Should I look for other causes?
Avatar f tn As soon as it happens flexible your foot. (Pull your toes upwards towards the knee).
Avatar f tn Im sure i was a sight to see (if it wasn't the middle of the night) when i was walking around with my foot stuck pointing down, so i was walking on my toes on only one foot, half asleep, in awkward pain. Lol. Hurts more now with my sore muscles!
Avatar f tn I have been getting cramps in my calf muscles that last for 3-4 days and along with this I get numbness in my fingertips and the toes on my left foot. I have had blood work done but nothing shows. Any ideas as to what causes this?
Avatar f tn When cramps occur, what direction are your feet? I've realized with my cramps, my feet are extended & my toes are pointed down, but if I quick pull my toes upward towards my shin, then the cramp goes away or stops right away. Not sure if they will help, but might be worth a shot. Another thing that helped stopped my leg cramps was drinking Pedialite. Great source of electrolites without the sugar!
Avatar m tn Hi, My partner is a 35 yr old male who for the last 2 weeks has been suffering from severe muscle cramps in is right hand and right foot. It starts with a tingling in his right arm from the elbow downwards which then causes his hand to cramp and lock with the fingers clawing in towards his palm. At the same time, his leg starts to burn from the caf down into the foot and goes into a cramp with his toes turning downwards and inwards.
552054 tn?1215063899 I'm a 23 year old mother of 2 from Ohio. About 8 weeks ago, I woke up one day and was walking strangely. At first, I just kind of shrugged it off thinking maybe I had slept wrong or something. I began tripping, dragging my toes and scuffing them on the floor, and you could see an obvious gait disturbance.
Avatar f tn Hi pjay and welcome. I'm not sure what is going on. The cramping toes can be from any number of things. Do you have MS or suspect that something neurological is going on?? Please feel free to give us more information and we'll try to give you some guidance.

Often, neurological, muscular and anatomical problems overlap. Specific foot drop causes may include: Muscle or nerve damage.

Avatar m tn i often get it during the night and the best way to release the pain is streching my heels (not the toes) ...its best way to get rid of them faster..it really works for me...no need to wake my hubby to do it for me...and make sure u strech your heels not ur toes...streching ur toes makes it worst..!!
Avatar f tn U have to take ur toes n bend them up yo ur hips just the foot n it gets rid of the pain. My doctor said its due to lack of potassium and water in the muscle. The baby ***** nutrients out of every part of the body. Including ur muscles. Eat bananas and drink water. It reduced my pain n when I still get them , I bend my toes up to my hips n it stretches my calves and makes the horse stop kicking lol.
1068422 tn?1293684253 Not diagnosed with MS at this time,but I sure do know about cramps in the toes...specifically the big toe of the left foot! I keep my socks on most of the tome so I haven't noticed if my toe curls up,but yeow!It's painful!
Avatar m tn I have had numbness in toes in my left foot. I have had an EMG - negative, cholestrol is within range, and glucose is fine. All my other blood tests are fine. There is no tingling. Any advice on direction to persue? The numbness is spreading, very slowly. It is not in the big toe but the second and fourth toes.
