cramps and pain top feet Options

[brandy]

I have both cramping and pain in the top of my feet especially after doing alot of physical work. If I walk and stand for a few hours, the next day I can hardly walk. It is worse in the morning when I get out of bed. I also have a shooting pain along the left side of my calf on the outside. Been to doctors, they have me on meds, Diclofenac sodium, Lyrica and Tramacet. These help a bit, but I would sure like to know what's causing this. Thank you

Dear Brandy
Cramping is sometimes caused by dehydration, neuropathy/neurological disorder, shin splints or restless leg syndrome. Your doctor will need to differentiate between these etiologies based on physical examination, your history and additional tests. The treatment will be based on the etiology of the problem.
