Do you ever get a wicked cramp in your foot?

Few things are more annoying than a crippling foot cramp which seems to come out of nowhere...

According to Kathryn Teng, staff physician at the Cleveland Clinic, the most common reason for that is a subtle electrolyte imbalance or dehydration. Get up and walk around, have a drink of water and massage that foot to relieve the cramp.

Occasional foot cramps are usually nothing to worry about – but frequent cramps could be. If your feet cramp every night or during the day when you walk, a blood-clotting disorder or nerve damage could be to blame – and it’s time to see a doctor.
