cramps in feet

[winglets]

I get occasional cramps in my feet, is this different to the tingling and pins/needles feeling that can be symptomatic of diabetes?

This is not even painful but more of a cramp feeling usually after I've been sitting or lying the same place for quite a while. It usually then disappears within minutes if not seconds.

Have you recently started a low carb diet? I found I was getting nasty cramps in my feet and ankles after I started low carbing. It was suggested on here that it may be magnesium deficiency. I bought magnesium spray and apply it to my feet and ankles before I go to bed. Magnesium is apparently absorbed better through the skin than orally. I very very rarely get cramps now.

Did you mean ASA or should that be ALA? aka Alpha Lipoic Acid?

I was wondering what the Advertising Standards Authority has to do with it?!

Cramping can be caused by anything, including mineral deficiencies such as magnesium, potassium and salt.

I had really bad cramping in feet and legs. Stopped taking statin tablet and it's more or less gone.

A good long bath with Epsom Salts is the transitional solution, as Epson Salts contains Magnesium.
