Avatar m tn Hello- When I bend my toes, my foot tightens and stays this way until I unbend them or sometimes, I have to walk it off. It is a very excruciating pain and it even causes my toes to separate even more. What is going on?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Not like period cramps more like leg cramps or foot cramps where it feels like ur muscles tighten up. I just got one really bad close to my rib when the baby was by it and it had never happened before.
Avatar f tn I got leg cramps in my 1st trimester and it was painful! I drank lots of water and coconut water like Vita Coco from Costco to hydrate my muscles. I had banana when I had them in the house. Stretching helps a little, but when my leg is already sore from the cramps, it doesn't help as much. I'm near the end of my 2nd trimester and I haven't had leg cramps again. We shall see 3rd trimester.

Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn I am having reverse cramps in my right foot. I have been really suseptible to charlie horse type cramps in 2 different areas of my feet for years. Since last night, my foot cramp under the two littlest toes has been going off like crazy and when I try to pull my toes up to release the cramp, the other cramp under my big toes goes off.

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 Yes I get them all day and night, 3rd pregnancy for me and nothing really makes them go away I alternate stretching, pillows, exercise, tylonol (when unbearable), potassium, I try to eat bananas. Sometimes it helps others nothing works. Its one of the more annoying cant do much about it symptoms, just try to hang in there, oh also sleeping propped up helps, in a recliner prefrably. Hope you find some relief.
Avatar f tn Help the cramps keep coming back in my right calf when I barely stretching.... I'm 24 weeks ....exercises? Eating?
Avatar n tn m not exactly sure how to prevent them but when you feel one about to come flex your foot so that your calf muscle stretches. It makes such a difference. I do it every morning when I do a big stretch when I wake up.
Avatar m tn 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. This could be pinched nerve in the leg or foot.
Avatar n tn Eat enough bananas for the potassium and flex your foot up when stretching to try and not get one.
Avatar f tn I had them when I was 7 wks
498948 tn?1253055841 A couple of people have mentioned the use of quinine enriched water to help ward off leg and foot cramps but when I google quinine its actually a malaria drug that is contra-indicated with other drugs. I don't want to mess up my treatment as I've just passed the half way mark. Does anyone have any advice or experiences they want to relate?
Avatar f tn Omg! I thought the excruciating pain leg cramps was just me!! When I wake up, I just try to stretch slowly and it's been helping. But I sut hope it doesn't last for the rest of the pregnancy.
