What causes painful cramps in the toes with tingling sensation in the calves?
Patient: I m having painful cramping in my left toes and it feels somewhat like a charlie horse. It is difficult to get them to straighten back out. They are staying more bent than normal when not experiencing one of these cramps and I m unable to fully make a fist or bend them. With this my left leg is experiencing tingling in the back right above the knee down into the calf. What could this be and should I make an appointment that may takes weeks or go to an emergency room? Doctor: A neurologist consultation is a must.Id advise neuro-physiological testing of leg and foot nerve distribution.hot packs,massage with vitamin E oil,calcium,vitamin B complex and minerals like mangnesium, mayhelp.toe raise exercise I.e.standing on toes n ball of foot sole with heel high in air is good exercise walk bare feet on sand.another exercise is try to pick small objects by toes.
