I am experiencing cramps in my toes where they start to bend downwards. this happens early every evening. what is it? & what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crampy Toes: Rule out systemic conditions and local nerve compression/irritation. After a day's activity we can get muscle cramps because the blood is unable to provide enough oxygen to the muscles and pyruvic acid starts to build up. In an attempt to avoid a toxic build up, the muscles convert the pyruvic acid to lactic acid which is removed from muscles by blood flowing through them. Consult your doc
