hii
it is less likely that nicotine patch can cause toe cramp
it can cause irritation and burning in thae area where it is placed
but may be it is due to some withdrwl phenomena from smoking
u have feel anxiety thats y u have more concern
just relax
if u have such a problem due to withdrawl than u have to go for tab bupropion 150 mg which is useful to cut down ur smoking habbit and also take care of withdrawl symptoms
thank u
