foot cramps on top

I keep getting a like cramp feeling on top of my foot/ankle area. It comes on having walked the shortest of distances. When I stretch the foot out it is also painful as would happen when trying to get rid of cramp. It is primarily in the right foot but the left foot is joining in too now. But I've really only heard of cramp in the instep of the foot. Has anyone else experienced this? any ideas what to do about it.

If your feet are hurting on the bottom and not the top, it may be plantar Fasciitis. It's very painful and is mostly on the heels and balls of your feet. I hope this is not what you're experiencing, it's not curable, doctor recommended really stiff insoles but, they just made them hurt more. Good luck and way to go, keep improving your health!

i feel like one big cramp from the top of my uterus to the upper most part of my thighs. there is a constant pressure and then the cramp like Period almost. Im just woundering what would cause this.

It started with the top of my foot hurting, like someone had stepped on it. I now have a hard lump that is painful to the touch. I am wondering if this serious and if I need to see a podiatrist. I am a little concerned about what this could be.

prior the toes crossing or going up i csn massage out. but this on top of foot is lasting longer and now both feet. didnt even know this could happen. i m afraid ti stretch foot or ankle that can start one. severe onrs wake me. have you found out how to stop or cause.

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.....

I have a question. I have a lump that seems attached to the bone on the top of my foot. (From the diagram I looked up it seems to be on the 2nd cuneiform) it does not move and by that I mean it feels like it is anchored to the bone, it has gotton bigger over the last few days. (No injuries, no trauma).The lump does not hurt but my foot aches and it travels up to my ankle and almost up to my hip.I couldnt sleep last night because of the dull ache and cramps.

I heard the cramps is because of not enough calcium. If you go to your symptoms page on this app you can putnin your symptoms like legs cramps then push ok, it will come up with a explanation mark beside it, click on it and it will give u information on that symptom. Massaging the area helps too.

I would suggest you to go for an X-ray and check if there is any problem with the talus bone which is present on top of the arch of your foot. As there is very little soft tissue to protect the top of the foot, bone injuries are common. The second, third and fourth Metatarsals are the most commonly injured bones due to something falling on your foot. Without any fracture you would need physiotherapy and anti inflammatory medications to decrease the pain and inflammation.

I am 37 weeks. For the last 3 days I have been experiencing Charlie horse like cramps on both legs, upper thighs/inner thighs. I thought maybe dehydration but it's consistent every night at the same time. What's going on?

My boyfriend has a large (palm size) rash on top of his foot ( has a very shingle-like rash in appearance). The only reason I say this is because he just recovered from shingles recently. The rash doesn't look like "heat rash"...because of the pink background and rash isn't evenly distributed. It is also not at the bottom of his feet or in between his toes. it also has a white/clearish looking tiny blisters all over.

Do you see/feel a pulse in your ankle or feel a pedal pulse on the top of your foot? If cholesterol is blocking off circulation down there, ischemic pain can be as strong as a heart attack only it can last longer (my grandma's experience with peripheral vascular disease). Are you taking any statin drug for cholesterol? Muscle cramps, including in the foot can be a side effect and should be reported to doctor.

Not so much leg cramps but last couple days I've noticed shooting pains in my upper right thigh on top. It's really weird but it only lasts a few seconds. Not sure if that is due to being prego or not. Now that I think about it, I've had some tiny foot cramps a while ago.

I have to wake up and go downstairs and walk, due to cramps in my toes, where they curl upward and cramps on the top of my foot. Does this have anything to do with medication? I take Zoloft and Abilify for bipolar disorder. My sugar levels were heightened due to Abilify, but I am now taking Metfforman to level out my sugar level because Abilify has the ability to heighten sugar levels. I am not a diabetic. Does cholesterol have anything to do with this cramping?

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.

but I notice is wen I stand so much on my foot..try using any hot ointment n place ur legs on a pillow n relax on d bed...

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.

my husbands foot always cramps up after we have sex....is there a way to stop this....send me a private messege......

My accross the top of my right foot into my big toe is numb, I can.t flex my foot up and the leg feels likk it weighs twice as much as the left. I trip when I try and walk because I am not able to lift my leg up far enough offf the ground. This just suddenly happened, no trauma to cause this. I have had back pain off and on for years along with severe charley horse type cramps in my calf down into my foot.

Hello, I wrote in a question recently about a hard pea sized lump on top of my foot. I appreciate the answers I received and now I have another one. The lump is hard like bone and is not painful. It is located on the outside edge between my little toe and ankle. It may have been there awhile and I have just noticed it or it could be a new occurance. I went to my family physician today and he ordered an x-ray. The lump also does not move. The x-ray did not show anything.

I randomly get a sudden sharp pain in my left or right foot, on the top. Like a little knife is stuck in me or a huge bug is biting me. What causes this and what can I do to make it go away. I sometimes get the sam feeling on my ankle or my hand?

I know this thread is kind of old but I just had to respond.......I am a 42 y/o F who was DX with Sjogren's Syndrome in April of this year. This autoimmune journey is new to me and I know that it can be a long & confusing journey. But when I read the header of your question it caught my eye. I have been having tingling/burning in my right toes only......and what I call "needle-like" sticks all over the tops & sides of my right foot. Never on the heel or the sole.....

Ooh, ouch, that sounds nasty painful. I get cramps in my right foot,, sometimes one toe will pull over the top of the one next to it; can't pull it back, or massage it out; hurts so bad! That happened in my water exercise class yesterday. My toe cramps seem to happen more often when my feet are cold.

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.
