Any methods of fixing these? I sometimes get them when I wake up. I think it's because I played some soccer the day before. Today, I am going to play basketball (still going even if I have a foot cramp) and was wondering if there were any ways to fix them.

I'm pretty sure I'll be gone before I get replies but this will be a good reference in the future. =D

Buy yourself Magnesium pills if you have any kind of cramp. I used to know why it helped, but alcohol killed that information.

Cramps come from a lack of a specific substance in your body, Magnesium is only one of the 5 possible substances you could be lacking.

Try to eat well after you've done sports, don't go to bed hungry after doing sports.

I'm quite sure Magnesium helps in like 90% of all cases, where is Physician when you need him

I think potassium helps as well. Bananas

Hmm, I guess I should start looking for these things if I get cramps more often.

Thanks. Any more suggestions?

multivitamins, green leafy vegetables, and fruit.

You can also massage it out. There may be a knot or something in the muscles. Doing specific foot exercises may help as well (like rolling your foot on a water bottle.) Is it like a really sharp pain? Worst case would be developing plantar fasciitis.

Yes, the pain is still there. I tried a couple foot exercises from a couple different pages. I think this is the longest I've had a foot cramp. =/

If the pain is still there tomorrow, I'll probably go to the doctor. Maybe I'll get my left ear checked out, too. -_-

Haha, that sounds pretty ridiculous. No. Whenever I swab my ears with a Q-Tip, it makes some weird sounds that it usually doesn't. Kind of like that sound when you get water in your ear.
