Does anyone else have a major problem with muscle cramps in there feet and and ankles. 3-5 times a week i wake to charlie horse in the tops of my feet and i have to stand and walk around to get them to stop. any suggestions?

Are you getting enough water? Could be dehydration.

I think I read that wrong. Thought it was in your legs. Not sure about feet and ankles

getting as much as i can and mostly the same amount on days i dont cramp as days i do.

i also think its my most likely cause but thought i would see if others have had similiar exp.

yea tops of my feet mostly. when it hits it sends my flying out of bed. Never had a charlie horse in my feet before surgery but now i cant get around them

Taking multivitamin? Lack of potassium can cause muscle spasms "charlie horses"? You may want to notify your surgery team, they may want to check bloodwork.

yea i take the rec multi but cant see doc for now as i lost insurance so i have to wait for now.

lack of magnesium causes cramps as well, my doc put me on them a few years ago because I was having them at night like you. I'm not a doctor so take what I say with a grain of salt. I would go as soon as you can to have bloodwork done.
