Why would a person get foot cramps immediately after a long sitting or laying position & only walking relieves the cramps?

Plantar fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis, or an arch ligament strain is a very common reason for discomfort in the bottom of the feet. Other causes of heel pain can be tarsal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, a stress fracture, referred nerve pain among others. Talk to a podiatrist to help sort this out.
