Avatar f tn Calcium and potassium. Tues and bannas. I had horrible Charlie horses in my legs and feet my first pregnacy. I hope I don't get them that bad this time. I use to cry in my sleep.
Avatar n tn For your leg cramps, please try putting a bar of soap in your bed! I know it sounds nuts, but I used to get severe leg and foot cramps frequently, both day and night. I tried this method, figuring it was basically free, and couldn't do any harm, and I'm now a true believer. Cramps are gone -- unless I wear socks to bed, or the soap falls out or if I kick the covers off. Try it, it's a lot cheaper than seeing another doctor or buying meds. Any type of bar soap apparently works.
Avatar n tn I am a Type 1 diabetic who has recently been suffering from leg, foot, toe, ankle, thigh, and even hand cramps so bad that I can hardly stand it. I get the foot and leg and ankle cramps usually in the middle of the night, and then can't sleep. It is almost a nightly occurance. My ankle sort of keeps cramping up, and then it spreads to my toes and calf. It is absolutely unbearable. I am wondering if ANYONE can tell me where to start to find out what is causing this.
Avatar f tn Stretch your legs before you go to bed by standing facing the wall and putting your toes on the wall to stretch out your foot and calves. She also said that some purple swear by putting a bar of the Irish soap in between their sheets at night. Good luck, I hope you find some relief I have been having the same problems.

733362 tn?1489794936 Just moving it up to knee level made all the difference and it still worked, no foot cramps while the bar of soap is in there for me. Lilly, Thanks again. I like the idea of stopping at 2.5. Sounds good to me. I plan to order some GABA and a couple other herbs with my next Swanson order. I had never heard of it so I checked it out when you mentioned it before. It sounds like just what the Dr ordered. Thanks! NeverAgain Thanks for responding. I have gotten down to two 7.

733362 tn?1489794936 Hello i don't know anything about your wd but leg and foot cramps r normally lack of potassium or iron. In your case might not be. Just wanted give my "2 cents" haha.
Avatar f tn however, the foot brushes that they used to scrub the feet are simply cleaned with soap and warm water between customers. The next day I realized I had an abrasion on my foot. Is it possible if there was previous blood on the brush that it could have infected me this way? Or does the virus die from the soap and water between uses. I am a bit worried.
1388357 tn?1280189493 Hi...I still get the vibration and cramps in my foot...it always seemed to happen when I changed my shoes...one style to another..... I am still having this issue...tho not like b4 as that is the case with many of my symptoms...but I had a month or more of the vibrating, now I have had a few nights of cramps in the arch of my feet. My hands tend to cramp when I hold something too long.....
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 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.
Avatar f tn Is anyone experiencing foot cramps? My left foot keeps cramping and it hurts for days at a time. Anything to releive the pain?? Thanks in advance!
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 It happened in my left calf, which is my affected side and also the one that has the neuropathy in my foot. I take a multivitamin religiously and I also drink a lot of fluids. I am fairly sure my cramps are due to my nerve dysfunction from my lumbar spine. I hope this helps you. I had one heck of a night and probably will be sore for a few days. Yikes!
808544 tn?1248686419 I too wake up at night and have to jump out of bed and walk around until the cramps are gone. Then I go back to bed, fall asleep and wake up a half hour later with cramps in a totally different area, I hate it! I eat banannas every day and try to drink lots of water and also gatorade for electrolites, but still get them. Hang in there, it's another one of those nasty sides that some of us on treatment have to deal with. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Yes i have Hashi and now Hypo, have had terrible leg and foot cramps for years, they are easing now i have started Thyroxine ...
Avatar f tn I get foot cramps when I lye down and when I drive. I soon as my feet don't touch the ground they curl and hurt a lot. Anybody with that ? please help.
168348 tn?1379357075 Thanks for the banana info! I'm going to try that myself.
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 I think you can see that different treatments would for some and not others. You just need to try them all and see if you can find one that works for you. If your are having a lot of cramping you should make sure your potassium and sodium levels are okay. A simple blood test can indicate this. I think all of us cirrhotics has some crazy tales about cramps we have had. I had both toes and hands seize up at the same time while typing and couldn't use my fingers to uncramp all the others.
Avatar m tn It is treated like chronic eczema by decreasing water and soap contact, and applying emollients. Topical steroids are almost always needed to control the symptoms. You can use mild steroid cream like Dermacort and if the symptoms persist then high potency steroids and oral steroids may be needed. My sincere advice would be to consult a dermatologist to get the diagnosis confirmed.
Avatar f tn Pull your knee up to your chest and grab your foot by the toes and ball of the foot. Pull your toes slowly toward your body while pushing the heel away from your body. Hold it for a few seconds until the cramp is over. That technique also works great for an inner-arch foot cramp. You can achieve the same calf stretch when standing. Place the balls of your feet on a board or even a door threshhold.
