How To Treat Painful Cramps In Foot?

What causes debilitating foot cramps that come on suddenly when I lay down or put my feet up on a footstool. Feels like a tight rope along the inside bottom edge of each foot. Sometimes it causes my toes to curl upwards tightly, and I can t even push them back down. Painful. Heat sometimes helps slowly. Hope you can help me. MJ
