Common Questions and Answers about Foot cramps cause at night

Avatar f tn While not life-threatening, night cramps (commonly known as nocturnal cramps) can be painful, disruptive of sleep, and they can recur frequently (that is, many times a night, and/or many nights each week). The actual cause of night cramps is unknown. Sometimes, such cramps are initiated by making a movement that shortens the muscle. An example is pointing the toe down while lying in bed, which shortens the calf muscle, a common site of cramps.
Avatar m tn ll keep it simple. Plus at this point its tough to say if that is the source of your foot cramps, but as you suspect it might be since you do have the start of Hashimoto. Podiatrist usually know a few simple stretches, but they are usually not as effective as other types. 90% of foot cramps and even planter facitis is related to tight calf muscles. But most Podiatrist completely ignore this fact since there narrow little world is concentrated only on the foot.
Avatar n tn I am suffering from extreme leg and foot cramps at night. A year ago I had back surgery (Laminotomy (Hemilaminectomy), Decompression of Nerve Roots, Partial Facectotomy, Foraminotomy And/or Disc Removal, Lumbar Notes: Minimal access, left sided L5-S1 hemilaminotomy, mesial facetectomy, foraminotomy and microdiskectomy ) copied from my records. For the past couple of months I have been having similar symptoms to the ones prior to surgery.
733362 tn?1489794936 m one), that a bar of soap at the foot of the bed helps. Last night was the 2nd night in a row I had them. Yesterday my foot ached most of the day from the "charlie horse" even after the cramp went away. I put a new bar of Ivory, unwrapped down by my feet and slept like a rock, no cramps,, until I kicked the soap out, found it on the floor this morning. Seems like it was working but Charlie came back after I kicked the soap out.

I did not do more or faster than normal. Any ideas what would cause this? It was almost solid pain for 4 hours.

Avatar f tn I am 30w 5d and I have been experiencing legs cramps and foot cramps the past month. These last 4 days my cramps have been in both legs/ feets at the sams time and last night I fell and could not get up. My husband had to left me up and help me walk it out. They last around 5-10 minutes. Does anyone else have these problems? I have increased my potassium and tried peppermint oil before bed.
Avatar f tn Many things cause foot cramps. The first place to start is with your GP.
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!
