severe foot cramps and bump

[Seasprite]

I was awakend in the middle of the night by a severe cramp on the TOP of my foot
The left foot, towards the ankle on the outside. There seems to be a tiny white bump
there also. I wonder if had been bitten by something or if the tiny bump is a coincidence.

anyone have foot cramps??

Hi Seasprite,

I use to get severe cramps in my quadricep and calves for no reason, as well as a feeling that something was digging into my bones so much that it would wake me out of a sleep. Its no fun know exactly where your coming from.

I too got cramps at night while resting. I also had two areas both around the knee that for months I hurt down deep like past muscle, felt as though it was in my bones. So very painful to the touch as well as to walk. Then two huge lesions opened. So tired of this mistery!(or is that misery)

I read ya and back at cha

I have walked mornings for like, ever....and for the first time like EVER I had pain on the tops of my feet up by where the tallus meets the leg. both feet. Never ever had it before. good news is that it's gone, hopefully because I've been treated homeopathically.

Hi all,

I've been getting "Charlie horses" which may or may not be related to the cramps some of you are suffering. Since oranges and bananas and hydrating myself worked in the past, that's what I do now. These leg cramps aren't from any sports activity, of that I'm sure.

Late edit: I've forgotten to mention apricots, which are also supposed to be a good source of what Seasprite explains below. Unfortunately, I have to watch which kind of dried fruit. Some are processed with sulfite...just don't like the idear

I know some cramps, like charlies horses may be due to ptoassium defficiency (whch is why the bananas help!)

I have had them in teh past, but totlaly unrelated.

This was differnt and had the bump, it also itched like i had been bitten or sommething.

Sorry to hear, Seasprite.

Sounds awful. There seems to be a few references to white bumps on the forum, but none fits your description. For me, it's definitely been cramps only.

Cramps, bumps, pain and lumps. All sound kind of familiar. I used to get cramping a lot on my left calf but that has almost gone. What worries me is the large hard lump I have on the top of my right foot. It's the size of an egg and I can't get some shoes on. It is not painful all the time but when it hurts it really hurts.

It's like bone and I have similar lumps at the right front of my neck. I've had my foot x-rayed and just been told that there is degeneration of the bone. Maybe lyme related. Any thoughts or similar issues, anyone?

I'm a bit alarmed your bump is that big and they don't have a better description than that?

Has it been scanned, etc?
