Cramp in toes

Not sure if this is related to surgery or not, but the last 2 days I have had a cramp in my toes on my left foot.  I have been walking everyday for about 2 miles.  I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what they did for it.  Thanks

After blood tests showed I had low levels, I fought painful foot, leg and hand cramps with extra potassium, magnesium and calcium.  Especially potassium and magnesium.  Talk to your doctor about adding that, or increasing it if you are already taking it.  After a long bike ride I take even more.

And remember, while magnesium oxide is commonly available and cheap, it is the least bio-available form of magnesium.

Ditto the magnesium and potassium supplementation for cramps.  The upside to magnesium supplementation...it also helps with constipation.  Dehydration can also cause cramping.  Make sure you're drink a minimum of 64 ounce of fluid a day.  

How much magnesium is good to take ?

If you have a health food/holisitc place where you live ask them for these pellet things you put under your tongue and let them dissolve, they are specifically for muscle cramps. I use to get them (cramps) when I was pregnant and the first few months after sleeve surgery

I take 100% chelated magnesium and if I miss it for a day or two, my legs and feet let me know!

Thanks everyone.  I get my 3 month blood test on Friday, so curious to see what the results say.  Will be defiantly picking up some potassium and magnesium.
