Yes, and in your leg. That sucks and has left me hobbling around my room, half-asleep, cussing and looking like an all-around fool. What’s even better is when you fall asleep on your arm and you wake up to your arm feeling like jello.

What causes your legs to cramp and your foot to turn blue?

Q: My step dad says that he didn’t hit his foot or legs on anything, but his legs keep cramping and his foot is turning blue. He doesn’t want to go to the doctor’s, though. I’m trying to find out if it’s something serious or if it will pass in a few days. I googled it and couldn’t find anything, so I was hoping that someone else could find the answer.His doctor finally called and convinced him to go.

A: It sounds like he is not getting oxygenated blood to that foot and the cramping accompanying this sounds like what is called a deep vein thrombus which is a blood clot. You might get him to the ER. The blueish coloring of his foot is something to be concerned about. hope this will help you.

How do you avoid cramp in your foot when swimming?

Q: Every time I go I end up with cramp in both feet. Just starting out swimming again after a year out, and it’s driving me mad and cutting my swim sessions short.

A: Try doing toe rising exercises with your toes turned inward (you stand flat-footed with your toes turned in and get off your heels by rising on your turned-in toes… work your way up to doing as many as you can)… this exercise will also develop nice-looking calves, don’t worry; do it as you shower and rinse soap off your body… The reason that is happening is that you are sickling your toes (turning your toes inward, like walking “pigeon-toed) while you’re also pointing your toes… using muscles that are under-developed and they quickly go into spasms due to fatigue and uric acid build-up; if you sit and point your toes and turn them in while holding the toe point, you’ll see what I mean. When that happens, stop flutter kicking, get out of the water, go against a wall, and stand about a foot and a half away from the wall and lean forward WITHOUT lifting your heels! That will stretch you calf muscles and those beneath your arch (areas where you get the cramps) and bring relief. Have someone massage the areas while they press your toes up toward you (it’s difficult to do this on your own; that will circulate the blood and circulate the uric acid build-up that causes the spasms… or cramps). Yes, bananas AND tomato juices will help you by supplementing the needed vitamins and minerals lacking in your system, so I’ve heard from some nutrition-minded individuals. Do some stretching exercises and massage the areas you normally get cramps BEFORE entering the water; do some warm up exercises in the water before serious swimming!
