Foot Muscle Cramps: Is It Normal?

[NervousnessNoMore]

Since the fall I have been getting cramps in my left foot only. No where else. I have a lot of buzzing, twitching that moves the toes, and soreness in thie foot as well. I have had the bodywide twitching for over 2 years. Anyone else experience cramps in just 1 foot? What bothers me is the fact that it is only one place, and the symptoms are contant in the foot.

Been checked out for pre-diabetes or thyroid issues or gotten an x-ray? Or gone to see a podiatrist? Or gotten a leg massage in case it's just tense muscles in your foot (or your calf radiating down to your foot)?If it's been going on for a few months now, best to be proactive about it and look at the most likely reasons, not the rare stuff. In the meantime, have you tried magnesium or tonic water to alleviate them? Might be helpful to you!

I have had blood work as recently during this stint for diabetes, plus I am hypothyroid and take synthroid for that. Starting to sound to me like this is not typical of bfs or bcfs.

Sounds like BFS to me. My symptoms have been primarily in my left leg, mostly in the calf. When I would cramp, it would be there. Been going for about 3 years, so much so that I barely notice it and only pay attention when something new comes up which is going on now. I wouldn't worry about it as calves and feet are pretty common and lots of people have their symptoms pretty isolated.
