Hi you have severe cramps in foot and ankle every night, sometimes so severe as to make you faint. In My opinion this kind of pain ( cramps) occur because of two possible causes- 1. Spinal canal Narrowing ( Spinal Canal Stenosis) 2. Osteoporosis. I suggest you start on pain killers , muscle relaxants and Get MRI + Bone Densitometry done. Rest of treatment will depend on reports.
