I know alot of us have discussed nocturnal cramps, and I already take both calcium/magnesium.

I sometimes get leg cramps, or stiffness in calf. But something else that is happening, is sometimes I will stretch my foot either on purpose or accidently, and the foot will twist or contort itself from the ankle downwards, mostly inwards towards the other foot.

I hope I have described it properly. Just imagine flexing your toes by either changing positions or just to stretch, and your ankle getting stiff,and your foot twisting on it's own inwards.

It will cramp up like that and I half to walk it off or shake my foot in order for it to stop. It doesn't happen all day long,but often enough to wonder why it does it.

Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone know why it occurs?

Thank you

Yes. I think mine may be secondary to the screwed up nerve signals (and thus muscles) for all this time. I just have to wait for mine to run its course. Affected to varying degrees when I move certain ways or stand.

I'm hoping some physical therapy may help.

I sometimes let it run it's course as well, as it seems to have a mind of it's own sometimes.


Thank you

If it is like mine, it definitely has a mind of its own. There is absolutely nothing I can do to stop it.

I posted a few links on the Dystonia forum at braintalk.
