Hi @SueJB ! Are you on any medications? Some can cause it. When they put me on Januvia, it caused it. Back then it wasn't listed as a side effect so no one thought that was it. But when I stopped they slowly went away. It could be an electrolyte shortage, a lot of the time potassium. We used to tell people to eat bananas at the store to see if it worked. Now I have spinal stenosis and when I swim I get leg cramps easy and when I first lay down I get feet cramps that a heat source by my feet, like a hot water bottle stops it. Be careful you don't burn any skin though, especially feet.
I think diabetics can be more prone to it sometimes because high sugars in the blood can thicken the blood and make circulation not as good.
