Common Questions and Answers about Foot cramps up

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 This has been happening to me for the past few years. my foot will start cramping up and I have to flex it for a while to get it to stop, just happens all of a sudden. I'm not sure why, but i'm glad flexing it out helps for the time being anyways. I have a well balanced diet so don't think its related to vitamin deficiency or anything like that. It's weird. I also haven't been to the gym since April. I've just been really busy, but hope to get back this weekend.

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.
