Foot cramps often
Common Questions and Answers about Foot cramps often
foot
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.
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. 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.
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.
Does anyone else have calf cramps at night that leave a sore spot on your calf muscle the next day?
I'm having a lot of cramping and some random twitching and it seems that BCFS fits with my symptoms. I've already been evaluated for numbness and tingling that started about nine months ago in my foot and eventually moved to both legs and arms intermittently. For the past two months, my upper arms have been very tight and sore. For about one month, my thigh muscles have very tight as well.
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.
Their first symptoms seem to be fasciculations and cramps, suggesting that ALS can and often does first present this way. To say that I'm terrified is an understatement. Tyroid, B12, MS have all been ruled out. Ive called to make an appointment with my neurologist, but I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge about this.
SM, I get these cramps on a regular basis (often multiple times/day/night) - often, they affect my toes in this manner, other times they affect other parts of my feet and legs. My cardiologist thought they were caused by vein insufficiency in my legs and I had 4 procedures to close off veins that forced blood to reroute to other veins but that didn't stop the cramps. They're stumped now and giving causes ranging from dehydration to magnesium/potassium deficiency.
Hi, For longer than I can remember, the pinkie toe on my left foot has been numb, sometimes it hurts to touch it. Lately, often, but not always, it feels like there is a lump on the bottom of my foot when I walk. It's towards the outside of the left foot. In addition, I often have severe leg cramps in my lower/left back of leg that shoot down and freeze my foot into a weird position. I went to a podiatrist when it was just the toe numbness. He thought it might be a neuroma.
Eat enough bananas for the potassium and flex your foot up when stretching to try and not get one.
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.
checked in routine bloodtests so I know for a fact its low) but when i start getting leg cramps bad, i eat a bunch of bananas and the cramps go away. So I would suggest you try this.
PS next time you get bad leg cramps while driving- pull over somewhere safe and walk them off, dont keep trying to drive like that, especially being a new driver! Dont want you to get in an accident!
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.
