severe foot cramps night

Usually one foot at a time, it wakes her up at night, and is relieved with hot foot soaks and motrin. Its gone on for 3yrs. now and the only diagnosis we have is growing pain. The pain is now taking place in her hands and the last couple of weeks, her thighs. I have no medical history except that she is Mian Indian (very small) and was 6 weeks premie. Can anyone help, I can't stand to watch her suffer anymore, not to mention, we could all use some sleep. Thanks.

The cramps are either very strong or weak but repeated (I can have cramps on both legs at the same time). Foot cramps can get to 15 cramps on a row. L-carnitine had effect for one or two weeks but then came back to the same.Is this a muscle metabolic disorder? Should I look for other causes?

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.

Hi ladies, is anyone suffering from leg/foot cramps. I'm 25 weeks pregnant and they've started coming on badly in the evenings and during the night in the last few weeks.

I am suffering from extreme leg and foot cramps at night. A year ago I had back surgery (Laminotomy (Hemilaminectomy), Decompression of Nerve Roots, Partial Facectotomy, Foraminotomy And/or Disc Removal, Lumbar Notes: Minimal access, left sided L5-S1 hemilaminotomy, mesial facetectomy, foraminotomy and microdiskectomy ) copied from my records. For the past couple of months I have been having similar symptoms to the ones prior to surgery.

I am a Type 1 diabetic who has recently been suffering from leg, foot, toe, ankle, thigh, and even hand cramps so bad that I can hardly stand it.

Hello everyone. I have yet to go see a physician but I'm guessing I'm around 7 weeks pregnant. I go on May 5th but I'm super worried about these severe cramps I'm getting. No spotting or bleeding and the cramps are the worst during the night and morning time. This is my first pregnancy.

I need an answer for severe night time inner thigh cramps. sometimes traveling up and down the leg to the groin area. and down to the foot. usually in the thigh. i have tried using a product called "leg cramps" and it is quinine but it really hasn't helped. it is the worse pain i have ever had .. I have read that others have the same pain and wonder if anyone has found an answer for it.

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.

I have severe leg pain too mainly knee downwards & ankle .. its especially bad in the evenings :( my husband massages every night which helps.

I've tried all different kinds of methods and have two heat pads and nothing is helping. thank you so much for the help!

Recently I have been getting severe leg and foot cramps, my doctor checked my potassium.. levels and they were good, she checked everything that could possibly cause leg cramps and the only thing that was out of whack was my liver enzyme's, I have been taking cholesterol medication for about 2 months, I also take Hydrocodone 10/325 and Tramadol 50mg daily. I take 3 and 3.

Just thought I would let you know- coincidentally last night I woke up to a severe muscle cramp (charlie horse) in the middle of the night. It happened in my left calf, which is my affected side and also the one that has the neuropathy in my foot. I take a multivitamin religiously and I also drink a lot of fluids. I am fairly sure my cramps are due to my nerve dysfunction from my lumbar spine. I hope this helps you. I had one heck of a night and probably will be sore for a few days. Yikes!

I swear i have one-three a night now for that last couple weeks, and now my lower leg in the back hurts really bad, like out of the blue. I just took a warm bath, and now i have slight cramping.

m one), that a bar of soap at the foot of the bed helps. Last night was the 2nd night in a row I had them. Yesterday my foot ached most of the day from the "charlie horse" even after the cramp went away. I put a new bar of Ivory, unwrapped down by my feet and slept like a rock, no cramps,, until I kicked the soap out, found it on the floor this morning. Seems like it was working but Charlie came back after I kicked the soap out.

I have severe foot cramps near the arch. Especially when I'm trying to sleep.
