Common Questions and Answers about Foot cramps when walking

foot

Avatar m tn Well, on a general note, formal shoes are not meant for long distance walk since most of these are not designed to support the foot arch like sport shoes, however padded they might be. You may try resting the foot and keeping it elevated for some time. Foot massage may also be beneficial.
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 f tn I have shooting pain in both my legs, tingling sentations, and muscle spams, aching and numbness in my feet but when i feel them they are not numb to touch. But my main concern is my walking. When i walk the only way i can describe it is: when i walk and put weight on my leg it snaps back at the knee, like i have no spring for it to relax back. I have had a mri scan of my lower back and NCS and EMG test but the mri scan no results back as yet and the NCS and EMG showed nothing.
Avatar m tn m resting but has also happened when I am sitting or walking. Once the spasms are over I still have a hard time walking for several days due to the arch of my feet being so sore. What could be causing this to happen?
Avatar f tn have leg and foot sensations mostly in my feet it is almost like cramps when I try to relax so have to stand to try to stop the cramping sensations in my feet
Avatar f tn Im sure i was a sight to see (if it wasn't the middle of the night) when i was walking around with my foot stuck pointing down, so i was walking on my toes on only one foot, half asleep, in awkward pain. Lol. Hurts more now with my sore muscles!
1278070 tn?1276224405 Hello, my problems started last summer my left foot and shin fell asleep while walking it was a bit painful around my ankle but not unbearable. When I got home from my walk, I sat down and the pain went away. Over the next few months this happened again several times. After about 5 or 6 months I could not stand or walk for more than 15-20 minutes without my foot going to sleep followed by excruciating, I can't walk pain.
Avatar n tn well i sleep in very awkward positions in work on downtime and also do alot of walking at home.i never stretch and should but i have cramping that is in my ankle,back of leg,feet,shin ect and the muscle is tender. i dont smoke nor drink so when i sleep at night it seems gone but when i wake up the pain is there and more painful under my toes which leaves but then the chronic pain starts.
1831849 tn?1383228392 I took a few face plant falls in the past when I tried to add speed to distance when walking. My brain lost track of its concentration. Now I have to be careful to think about walking when I walk. You know, she can't walk and chew gum at the same time? That's me. So I guess I'm singing backup for all the ladies in front of me. It all makes sense and PTs are the gait specialists. A good one will ferret out the true cause of many a problem.
1218873 tn?1300091216 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. This is really getting me down, I'm not driving due to an eye problem and now I can hardly walk to the local shops.
Avatar f tn I used to get them when I would wake up in the middle of the night and point my feet/toes to stretch. Now I make sure when I stretch I only flex my foot back. If I feel one coming on I flex my foot really quickly, I haven't had one since. There's something about the shortening in the muscle when you put your foot down that triggers it.
808544 tn?1248686419 But too much potassium is not good either so I only take it when I have the cramps not as a daily supplement. I eat 1/2 banana most mornings (with my protein drink). Another small comfort is to try to keep your hands and feet warm. When your hands cramp put them in warm water up to your wrists, and concentrate on relaxing.
Avatar f tn Bananas can help because they are high in potassium. Which is Polley the biggest cause of ur cramps not getting enough I use to get them a lot when I played sports and that was the cause of them.
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 n tn levothyroxine and foot and toe cramps. Existing damage to lumber due to spinal infection that tumored and surround spinal cord and root nurves.
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.
9884089 tn?1406756206 That used to happen to me . It's probably because when you walk the baby puts pressure so it hurts . Just try to walk slow and if you get pains stop or sit down untill it goes away !
Avatar m tn Hello- When I bend my toes, my foot tightens and stays this way until I unbend them or sometimes, I have to walk it off. It is a very excruciating pain and it even causes my toes to separate even more. What is going on?
Avatar f tn Is there anyone suffering from leg cramps? I had one the other day and this morning. I get leg cramps only in my left leg. I don't understand! I'm scared to even sleep in bed because I was told it happens when your leg is relaxed. Please help!
