Cramping in the arch of my foot...?

K-10 may be on the right track.  But it could be a number of things.  It could be plantar facitis (sp?).  You can look that up on wikipedia, which is basically bad muscles in your arches.  Or, maybe you just need to really stretch them before class.  I used to do 'toe' ballet and get that a lot and before class I would have to go to the bar, barefoot and go up and down on the balls of my feet and hold it for a while over and over to stretch that arch muscle.  You could try that with a chair at home, maybe.  Also, try including vitamin E and bananas to your diet before class.  Both are good for muscles that cramp up.  Drink water before class too.

Please get to a doctor or better still A & E, this could indicate a blocked artery or gout in the leg.\nThis must be checked out and not left

sounds like a possible calcaneal fracture.  you don't decribe location of pain, that would be educated guess based on description of jumping from high surface.  check out a great informative website, myfootshop.com. check out the article and see if it sounds like your symptoms, if not tool around the site, i think you'll find it to be helpful.  use the source as direct link to site.

Not enough information there to be sure, but there are always possibilities.\n\nIt could be your feet have grown or flattened and are larger than they used to be. Your shoes may be too tight.\n\nWater retention, which could come from anything from insufficient exercise or sitting in a computer chair too long to low circulation to other more complicated (and some potentially dangerous) things. Even pregnancy. (I don't know your gender or age so I'll suggest that.)\n\nNerve changes, which can have many causes, some as simple as wearing a belt too tight or sitting on a wallet in your back pocket, and some being a sign of something else in your body out of kilter.\n\nIf it's worth asking here, it's worth asking your physician about -- from curiosity, not from fear. \n\nThey're trained to assume and check for the worst things first and only when they prove that those aren't the cause, move onto the less alarming causes. They do this because they'd rather check for the worst and be wrong than to miss checking and be dead wrong. It's just the way they are. Would you want them to be any other way?\n\nIf there's any extreme or rapid change or if pain starts anywhere in your legs, have it checked right away. That'd be a sign that there's a little more happening than a little stiffness and numbness.\n\n----------\nNow that you've asked your first question, go read and rate some others.

Dehydration is a possibility, but you may also have peripheral artery disease (PAD). I wonder how old you are, as PAD does not affect young people.  Anyway the cramping with walking in the setting of PAD is called claudication and needs to be evaluated by a doctor...

Are you in occupation that you stand alot?  You might want to go see you doctor just to make sure nothing bad may be going on.  A friend of mine also  had your same symptoms but she was always standing , and the shoes she was wearing did not give support to her arch on that foot.  The side swelled because that side of her body was compensating for lack of support on her other side.  Have your blood pressure checked and make sure you have steady blood flow in your legs, make sure it's not Deep Vein Thrombosis or a blood clot.\n\nGood luck\nHope this helps

I usually get this problem during the winter, but for some reason right now have that problem even with wearing regular shoes and it has been like summer for a number of months now.  I recently bought Avon's Foot Works cracked heel relief cream.  It works very well, and also has lidocaine in it so it will help the pain.  I highly recommend it.  I cannot give you a direct webpage at Avon as when I did a search it did not give an exact url.  You can just go to their site and do a search for the name.

You should check your shoe. But after you do, go buy doctor scholl's foot gels. Make sure you go to your doctor, because the feeling may be a sign for bigger problems if the pain doesn't go away.

Crystal, get to a doctor as soon as possible.  This sounds like it could be the start of nerve damage in your foot.  We diabetics have to be on the lookout for numbness or tingling in the extremities---they can be signs of problems with our sugar levels.  Are you following a sensible diet, exercising and checking your sugar regularly?  Let me know, if you would, how the doctor's visit goes---just post some details.  Good luck!

Yes its shin splints. I had it when I was younger and it is very common. Arch supports are the most likely remedy. Talk to your doctor, or go to thegoodfeetstore.com

Sounds like it might be plantar fascitis. I had that. It's an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. I ended up getting inserts for my shoes and had to do stretching and strengthening exercises. And don't climb round rung ladders!

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.

I had a hard time with my legs and feet swelling during my pregnancy,  but is seemed to help if I increased my water intake and went for a little walk.  You must take your prenatal vitamins too.   I hated the cramps, but pregnancy effects women differently.  Just have to stick it out and make sure you are following your doctors advice on proper nutrition and excercise.
