Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 , I used to experience severe cramping in my feet, such as you describe, to the point that they would hurt for days after an "attack." Simply putting on my socks or shoes, or flexing my foot in any way would trigger this. Often it would then spread to my leg, like a "charley horse." I never experienced this cramping in my feet until I developed RA. Anyway, my doctor prescribed quinine for me, and the cramping disappeared. I've been good for two years now. Don't know if you're experiencing the same sort of thing I did, but hope you find some relief soon.

Can you believe he is already four months old?Everything RA-wise had been going fine, some what I call "stray" pains here and there, but nothing too bad. Yesterday, I got up to change Dylan and I had some cramping in my right foot, well, it just kind of felt like my whole foot had a cramp throughout. A few hours later I couldn't walk on it at all. Then I got to the point where I was dragging my foot along with me and was able to do the normal stuff with the baby.I decided to go to the ER, I hate doing that but I wanted to get it X-rayed. Iwas actually hoping they would say I had broken it or sprained it because thatwould heal at least but they believe it is my RA flaring! Theyput me on crutches and told me to stay off of it for 3-5 days! How exactly doyou do that with an infant?And what if I am not better in 3-5 days, then what???I feel like my RA in my feet has not felt like this before. They ached and swelled but I was always able to walk on them. Has anyone felt like a crampiness throughout? My sore foot doesn't look much different from the other one. Maybe this is just how its starting? I am hoping it doesn't go to the other foot.I will call my Rheum. on Monday but I just wanted to see what you all thought. I am on Humira, what else might he prescribe? What if it isn't RA?Hugs, (in Western NY) Need Mail bonding?Go to the Q&A for great tips from Answers users.
