Muscle spasm in calf that left foot pain
As I was standing up from a chair 3 days ago, I had a horrible muscle spasm in the calf of my leg that immediately seemed to move down to my foot and left a pain at the inner ankle bone that is now 3 days old. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for a spasm to move and settle elsewhere as this one seemed to do?

They can hurt, can’t they? Maybe these will help you:

Has this ever happened before? Were you sitting a while? How active are you? Just thinking… Maybe do some troubleshooting listed to rule things out. Hydrate, regularly stretch, etc. I can tell you I have muscle pain that has literally taken years to get better. But, if it is hindering you from daily activity or doesn’t go away with your troubleshooting a call to your doctor wouldn’t be a bad idea.

You may have sprained your ankle when standing up and planting your foot at the same time your calf muscle was in a spasm. It would be good to see a podiatrist if it does t get better with rest, ice, NSAIDs.

Thanks for your reply
Is your ankle any better today?
I take magnesium for cramps. There's also LEG CRAMP over the counter that's helpful. In an emergency, I drink pickle juice - it abates cramps pretty quickly.
How ya doin’ @sober89 ? What’s the latest on your ankle bone pain?
Actually it is gone...I have peripheral artery disease and it may have been related to that but the fact is that it is gone... Thanks for asking.
Woo hoo!!!!!! It’s a good day to have a good day, @sober89 !
