A foot cramp is a sudden contraction or spasm of the muscles, which can cause pain. They can come at any time - with exercise or activity, or at rest or during sleep. Sometimes all it takes is the slightest movement that shortens a muscle to trigger a cramp.
Some causes are:
- overuse of a muscle
- dehydration
- depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes such as magnesium, potassium and calcium)
- muscle injury
- just holding a position for a long period of time
