Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe muscle cramps in my calves and feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like inadequate blood supply, nerve compression like lumbar stenosis, mineral depletion like potassium, calcium or magnesium. There are other reasons also like blood pressure medicine and vitamin E deficiency. I would suggest you to eat healthy diet, start taking vitamin E supplement after consultation with orthopedic surgeon and do gentle massage. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy or muscle stretching. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
