Are leg cramp related to wearing high heels?

Not??: Cramps are a conundrum. Proposed causes are all neurologic including spinal stenosis, hyperventilation and GOK-God Only Knows. We do not know the causes. Eecent article suggested that confusing your nervous system by eating very picky food may help. Breathing in a paper bag may also help. Docs do not know everything. . .yet or ever. Oh yes, overuse can also be trigger so the heels might do it.

Can be: The high heels can very well be related to your leg cramping. Try lower heels or frequent resting of the legs--take the shoes off. See how you do then.
