Suggest Treatment For Persistent Foot Cramps
what can I do for foot cramps usually at night but lately in the daytime also. I had a series of 3 foot cramps in one foot within 10 minutes the other morning. I m trying to drink plenty of water but do I need to seek some type of foot therapy for it.

Hi,
It can be due to a condition known as plantar fasciitis. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Diclofenac for pain relief.
If you are overweight you have to lose extra weight for better results.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. In severe cases steroid injection into the sole may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
