Just like charbar I have that pain in my feet when I get up.You might want to see a chiropractor for a check up.It could be poor circulation of blood, or possibly pressure on some nerves in your back.I have some back problems myself.

When you first get up does your foot/feet hurt exceptionally bad, until you get warmed up. If so, you likely have plantar fasciatis. This causes immense pain in your heel(s).  Plantar fasciatis is typically a result of overpronation (feet rolling in) because your arch is collapsing. If this is what you have, the first step you need to take is to get new shoes. You probably need a midstability shoe for exercising in. Go to a running store even if you don't run. They know a lot about injuries and will analyze your gate cycle to fit you in a shoe that will help keep you injury free. Many people don't realize how important a good shoe is.

You may have a potassium deficiency. I used to get Charlie horses all of the time and I was told this was the reason why. Banana's are high in potassium so you can eat those or get a good vitamin and take daily. Also as soon as you feel one coming on get up and walk immediately and it will keep it from hitting you so hard but you have to get up before the muscle tightens so tight that you can't walk so be quick. Walk through the tightness, don't tip toe through it or it will cramp all the up just as bad as it would have if you didn't get up at all.

Maybe because you eat before sleep precisely so it hurt the stomach muscule bacause the metabolism in your body (in gaining energy of ATP in mitochondria of cells) is disturbed, and maybe also the position of your body when you sleep support the sickness, and maybe also you have an acid problem in ur gastric (there must be a long explanation about it)

It sounds like you might have had a miscarriage.  Or maybe an ovarian cyst ruptured.   If you are still having alot of pain in the morning then call your OB/GYN.  It sounds like you need to have a pelvic exam.  You might find some relief by using a heat pack on your pelvic area.  Take some Tylenol or Ibprofen.  But not asprin!  You might also lay in bed on your side and pull your knees towards your  chest- like in a fetal position.

Is it the area behind your elbows?  If you are waking up in the middle of the night or the morning and it's hurting very bad, it's because you are sleeping with your arm under your pillow or your arm bent.  \n\nThere is a nerve back there and the pressure from the bending will cause you pain.  It's called nerve entrapment.\n\nThat's what happens to me.\n\nIt brings tears to my eyes.\n\nMy Dr. who treats my carpal tunnel, says to sleep with towels wrapped around my arms to keep them straight.\n\nI've never done it, but it's an option.\n\nTake motrin for the pain. \n\nI hope you feel better.

If your pattern is that you get up ok, but then you start to lose energy in the morning, it might be you are having low blood sugar episodes.  I am a former hypoglycemic, now diabetic, up at 4:30 - no gym, no novels, but have to eat my protein based breakfast pretty quick or I start to fade.\n\nCheck out low blood sugar at www.hufa.org to see if it sounds like you.

I had the same problem for years and years, it's horrible and I was unable to point my toes or curl them , but I would awaken every one or two hours with cramps in my left calf. Prozac 20 milligrams has helped me to be able to do what I couldn't and I used Ambien (expensive though) to sleep. The Prozac might give you headaches when you're awake as well as nausea but for me it was worth it in order to stop the spasm/ cramps in my legs and be able to sleep a whole night through.

You probably have arthritis in your joints. If it is in both hands, you might want to see a doctor because it could be rheumatoid arthritis and that can become debilitating if not taken care of early. Another thought, is your bedroom kept cold at night? Cold temperatures can cause stiff, achey joints, so you might try raising the temperature up a few degrees before bed. Aside from that, take an advil every day to help with the pain.

Hi..The main function of this vein is to carry bad/used/deoxygenated blood from the superficial veins of UR legs to the Deep veins so that it can be easily pumped towards Ur heart, each  time UR calf muscles contract..In fact thats why calfs are also called 2nd heart..Dear I can understand the pain U must be having..My advice to U is to avoid smoking, brisk walking daily, Try to put compression bandage(coz more pressure on calf means more of bad blood going towards heart easily)..Now U are  surprised as why U get hot flushes..Its so coz bad blood gets stagnant for longer in these veins(sort of pipes), which are partially blocked..I'm sure that U must be experiencing this more whenever U do hard work, more often at evening or night..NOw last part as why UR doc said that this happens normally in 2-5%..He was right in saying so..Well it is present in a common man also sometimes and when it doesn't cause any problem with them , then that time it is said that these aberrant veins(which should ideally be absent)are normal..Got it..I know lengthy answer but complete..Take care..:-)

I have the same problem, hurts on the side of my heel.  Hard to walk when I get up, but noticed the more I walk the less it hurts.  Dr. said it was tendonitis.  It was beginning to affect my calves as well, but I think that was more from changing my walking patterns to avoid the pain.  Just keep stretching your foot and rubbing it before you put weight on it.  Heat also helps.  If it gets severe, they can do surgery with a tendon lengthening, but try other alternatives first.  Might be bone spurs.  Some chiropractors can help with that by using ultrasound treatments.  Also cortisone injections help and make you feel like you're walking on cotton balls, but the injection itself hurts pretty bad, then total relieve for about a week then right back where you started.  See a doc if it doesn't resolve.  Mine went away on its on after about 3 weeks and after I bought a new pair of tennis shoes and wore them even in the house.  Don't go barefooted!  Hope this helped!!

Please see your doctor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.\n\nThough you have diabetes I think the pain of the leg cannot be ignored by taking a pill or putting some balm.\n\nSee the doctor soon. You can see yahoo answers later. Hurry up.

You may have a problem here. Check out Webmd.com. Also if you are doing the Atkins diet and are not having any carbs at all you can experience these pains (happened to me during my walking routine)

It could be due to your lifestyle.. i used to have the same problem. I went to the doctors and he just suggested exercise daily, eat healthier and try and cut out refined sugars. I got real good sleeps and woke up feeling awesome :)

Like I said in the other post, arthritis, a tear, go to doc and get it checked.  Meanwhile, rest leg when possible and take two advil.  Call me in the  morning if you want, as well ;) .
