Cramping toes suggests you may need some magnesium to make up for what your muscles are missing.

A magnesium lotion rubbed into your lower leg and ankle and top of the foot may relax them and give you relief.

This works very well for most PNers or anyone with muscle or circulation problems.

Available at WalMart, Walgreen's and online at Amazon.
Use about a quarter's diameter on intact skin only, once a day to start. You don't need much as it is absorbed quickly.

Magnesium relaxes cramping sore muscles.
It improves blood flow the the area applied.
And it blocks the pain receptors called NMDA receptors to
reduce pain and discomfort.

This lotion is very inexpensive and wonderful. You should try it ASAP to see if it works for you so you can avoid other treatments that may have substantial side effects.
