Calf Foot
Calf Foot
the arch of my right foot, and my calf hurt really really bad?
i also have flat feet.its like my calf is tightened up. and my arch of my foot hurts soooo bad.like when i pull my big toe TOWARDS ME. i dont know what to do. my mom gave me one of her antibiotics,which was for bladder infection lol. and then i took 2 ibpruofen or however you spell it. do i need to put heat or cold to my foot??
and should i be walkin on it. or should i put my leg up??
It sounds like you have Plantar Facitis. Put some water in a small paper cup, freeze them. After they’re frozen take one out and roll your Foot Back and forth over the frozen paper cup. Do this 2 or 3 times a day. Also, begin wall stretching exercises to stretch the Archilies heel …stretch and hold, don’t bounce. This can also be taped. It will take a little time to heal. Ibuprofen can be used but don’t take very much, else you will then have stomach problems.
Calf Foot
How do you get rid of those cramps in your calf and foot?
I eat bananas and stretch before I go swimming because that’s when I usually get it.
But what do you do when you are having one? I just had one recently in my calf and when i touched the bottom of my foot my whole leg went numb and stiff. It hurt so bad I cried! I didn’t know what to do, so i sat there trying to keep my leg as straight as possible but the pain kept coming in worse and worse.
I also had one at the bottom of my foot and my foot started to bend and bend by itself and i couldn’t control it. It was so scary!! I had to force it straight again with my hands! It hurt just as bad as the one in my calf. Please, I don’t ever want to feel this pain again..
you are having what are called charleyhorses. It happened to me when i was pregnant, (that is common) It is difficult to think what to do when in one position, your feet stop hurting, and in another, the legs stop, but its not the same position. What i have found works for me is to get up and stand on my legs, and walk around the house. I also after five or so minutes, sit or lie down and put my legs in the position that does not trigger the cramps, and try and go limp. (Getting tense tends to bring them back for me.) I found a site that discusses them, and one of the reasons it mentions is you have an electrolye imbalance. Maybe you need to get a sports drink and drink it before and then after your workout. it couldnt hurt. Hang in there!
