Hi , I'll try to fill in where I can while Mike is gone. If the stretches

are no longer enough to stop the cramps, you might try putting pressure in the

center of the muscle and hold. If you bruise easily this might be a problem for

you. Are your leg cramps happening only at night or during the day too?

Re: uurrgghh! - Foot Problem (also )

Hi Mike,

I've also been getting cramps like these more and more often and was

considering posting to ask for a " cure. " Is there any sort of

release that I can do by myself (as I seem to be by myself when teh

cramping occurs)? I used to be able just to flex my toes against teh

floor or pull them back with my hand and that would be enough to

uncramp my foot, but now I have to pull my toes back with one hand,

massage my arch with the other and it still can take 15-20 minutes

for the cramp to let up.

Oh shoot... I just realized you are probably already on the road (I'm

not caught up on posts yet, but remember seeing in an earlier message

that you were packing up the RV and about to hit the road). Well, if

I don't hear back, I'll just have to ask you at the party at

Debbi's. Thanks.
