Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe muscle cramps in my calves and feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like inadequate blood supply , nerve compression like lumbar stenosis , mineral depletion like potassium, calcium or magnesium . There are other reasons also like blood pressure medicine and vitamin E deficiency . I would suggest you to eat healthy diet , start taking vitamin E supplement after consultation with orthopedic surgeon and do gentle massage . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy or muscle stretching .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
