Avatar f tn When I'm sleeping I stretch sometimes and my legs will get almost like a Charley horse. It hurts so bad. Is there anything I can do for that?
8727253 tn?1400194561 It happens to me while Im trying to sleep.. I ususlly move my foot with my hands bc you cant move it yourself ..slowly so its not so painful and then when I regain my foot control I massage the back calf musscle. Seems to work for me..5mins and Im back to sleep.
Avatar f tn They help prevent cramps, pregnant or not. Also, when you do get them, flex your foot. DO NOT point your toes out. Grab your foot and pull it towards you so it's like your making an L with your leg and foot. That should relieve it almost instantly.

Avatar n tn every once in awhile, while i am sleeping i will feel the beginning of my toes or ankle in only one foot begnning to cramp up. the pain last for about 1-2 min. and then it completely is gone with no mafter affects., What causes this.Sometimese it's 2-3 nights in a row and then nothing for months.
Avatar n tn I'm 32 weeks with my 2nd and the scariest thing happened. I was sleeping and woke up to my leg being locked. My foot was turned in and I couldn't move it without standing and that killed. I massaged the muscle on the front of my calf and it finally went away only to happen again. This was a reapeated process for about 10 minutes. It was like someone was holding my foot over. I couldn't control it and it hurt so bad! Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Avatar n tn Eat enough bananas for the potassium and flex your foot up when stretching to try and not get one.

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.
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 n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
8644515 tn?1411138777 More water! And bananas help too. When you get cramps, make your foot flat. Like, press it flat against the wall, floor, couch, or even make it flat in the air. It'll take the cramp away.
335728 tn?1331414412 It happens when I lift my feet off the floor, when I am lying in bed and the worst is when I am driving I get cramps in the toes on my right foot and it is a little scary...I am afraid that I will lift my foot off the brake or push down on the gas inappropriately when these cramps hit! Any ideas out there?
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.
1068422 tn?1293684253 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.
Avatar n tn They have either told him not to worry about it or told him just to take Aleve. Unfortunately, Aleve does not even touch the pain he suffers from. The cramping prevents him from sleeping at night as well. What could this cramping be from and can anything help him? Please help!!!
Avatar m tn I have a borderline 30 high CO2 level but have been having other weird symptoms. Could these be related? Depression, anxiety, bad foot cramps, pain like symptoms on top of foot (burning feeling), dry skin and hair and have problems sleeping(I have had all these symptoms for over a year. I am now having quite a few headaches and some weight gain and forgetfulness and fatigue..I do exercise and am a healthy body weight so why the higher CO2 level?
Avatar f tn Does anybody else get those crazy calf cramps that tighten up like crazy? And it just hurts sooo bad. Ughhh !!!
Avatar f tn 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.
