Re: ummmm OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try walking on the tiles on the bathroom floor. That helps sometimes.

Feel better.

Do you have frozen cans of anything in the freezer? Roll your foot over them.

Re: ummmm OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks girls- they are feeling better now. I was walking on them and rubbing them. They are still a lil achy but feeling better. I have been getting them lately and DH says I dont drink enough water, but I had 8 big glasses at work today, a bottle when I got home, and then a bottle of flavored water. So I dont know that that is the reason...

Re: ummmm OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dehydration and low potassium can cause them. Also if you started wearing different types of shoes (sandals or something else).

Bananas and Dried Apricots will help with the potassium.

Re: ummmm OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say drink water but it could be your shoes. Your feet are in them all day and when you take the shoes off the muscles will cramp. If you dont have the right support you could be doing it to yourself.
That happens to me when I wear flip flops alot. And I have orthotics in the winter that I wear and I never get the cramps but as soon as spring comes there they are again.
