Epic Cramp

Arciere

Hi there

Is epic cramp - you know, almost spasm like cramp a side affect of RA? I’ve been having the most painful cramp in one foot / it’s like a rope is pulling my big toe in one direction. There seems to be nothing I can do at the time but ride it out for probably a minute, but it feels longer.

Any advice gratefully received as to how it can be avoided or what to do when it happens. The pain is like a 9 on the 1-10 scale.

Hi @Arciere, there’s been a recent discussion about the sort of cramp like pain you’re talking about - have a look at the link below and see if it sounds similar. Unfortunately, no-one knows what is either, but you might like to ask how they deal with it:
