Rest cramps: Cramps at rest are very common, especially in older adults, but may be experienced at any age, including childhood. Rest cramps often occur during the night. 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.
I get foot and leg and even body cramps but have had them for years due to probably the diuretic I take for edema from my cirrhosis.
For me actually I seem to have fewer cramps on Harvoni but still get them occasionally
Best to ask your doctor if your symptoms cause concern. Make sure you are hydrating enough it can help with the headachs.
I've been having constant foot cramps. Podiatrist recommended some stretches and stuff, but also suggested a thyroid test.
FT3 is 3.22 (2.57-4.43)
FT4 is 1.17 (0.64-1.77)
TSH is 4.24 (0.27-4.2)
Anti-Tg is 41.14 (1000 (<5.61)
So the TSH is just a hair too high, but the anti-TPO is off the chart. Is there a thyroid problem or not? What does this mean? I've got an appointment with an endocrinologist, but I just want to get ahead of the game.
The various causes of foot cramps or tightening or painful contraction in the middle of foot are an over exerted foot poor foot circulation, lack of potassium, dehydration, pinched nerves due to electrical impulse from brain not reaching the muscles, alcohol or tobacco use, nutritional deficiency, etc. sciatica has been the previous culprit causing pain in back and thigh and leg cramps.

Hello Dear,
Muscle cramps might develop from simple overexertion .Most commonly, cramps can be avoided by increasing your intake of calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Both calcium and magnesium can be taken in the form of a supplement, but it is recommended that potassium levels be increased through the intake of more fruits and vegetables.You should take rest for a few days and massage the calf region using a topical gel which will relax your contracted muscles.As such nothing to worry about.
Does anybody else get those crazy calf cramps that tighten up like crazy? And it just hurts sooo bad. Ughhh !!!
When it starts, press your foot against the wall or bed or something. Anything to make your foot flat. I couldn't stand up with mine, they were bad. But making your foot flat will relieve it QUICK.
Flatten your foot. When you feel it coming, place your foot flat against a wall, bed, or even in the air. Just make it flat like you're standing on it.
A condition that can cause twitches and cramps of the foot, particularly at night, is restless legs syndrome. Usually patients with this complain of aching sensations in the calves with or without creeping/crawling feelings. These symptoms may be relieved with moving the legs. The treatment of this condition may involve a medication to increase your dopamine levels or may be treated with neurontin, which is also used to treat neuropathic pain as mentioned above.
