Thank you Peabody for all the good suggestions. I started to take a multi vitamin and I'm eating a banana as I type this. I'm also cutting way back on caffeine in case dehydration is playing a part of this. I will do anything I can to stop these foot/leg cramps. I have had rotator cuff surgery and a knee replacement and neither one was as bad as the pain from these cramps.

Hi, @jimk849 - wondering how it's going with the foot/leg cramps?

@jimk849 I have read that the current thinking is that if you are a regular caffeine consumer you stop having the dehydration effects. If I recall correctly it said the effects stopped after about two weeks, but that’s something you should check yourself or ask your doctor or a dietician. I do find that caffeine does not cause dehydration in me. I do still find that I can’t drink it at night, whereas when I was younger it never effected me.
