Cramy Foot =[
Okay, so I wasn't EXACTLY sure where to put this, but my left foot tends to cramp up quite often. I'll just be sitting doing nothing, and if I even wiggle my toes, it will just cramp up like I can't move it at all. It hurts soo bad though. Also; when I walk, it gets sore rather quickly.. and I can't even explain it. But here's my question: does anyone know what this could be? I'll be going to the doctor shortly for a physical, so I can ask her then... I would just like to have some input to see if there's anything I can do in the meantime. Thanks for any advice!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
Usually this is caused by the type of shoes you wear. It happens once you take them off because the pressure of the shoes cause a decrease in circulation which in turn cause the nerves to fire wrong. Of course you want to make sure this is nothing more serious when you see the doc. However you might try some good shoes with a high and roomy toe box.
Just a hint, to check shoes out to see if they are good or not, place them on a flat surface (off your feet of course), and lightly tap the toe, if the shoe rocks back and forth or forward and backward, don't buy them.

It could be arthritis. Or it could just be tired and you should rest and put ice on it. You should soak it in ice cold water.

My dad used to get muscle cramps from the work he does at his job. He swears by drinking V8 juice to keep them at bay. Maybe that will give you something to try out.

I think I know!! If you haven't been eating any bananas then that's it!! Bananas have potassium and potassium keeps you from having charley-horses (yes thats the correct term :) ) Charley-horses are muscle cramps you tend to get in your fingers and foot**!! so eat bananas and if you don't like bananas find food you like with potassium (check the Nutrition facts on side)
