Anyone get foot/ankle cramp?

When I walk I get cramp in my right foot/ankle, this the top of my foot, not the instep or toes. Then when I try to stretch it out to easy the pain (like pointing your foot) I seem to get a different sort of cramp it is in the same area but has a different feeling. Aftera short while I feel more comfortable but then in the evening the cramp I felt walking comes back to haunt me!

This is consistant when I walk say 300 metres (which is the distance from our house to the local shops.) I can't drive at the moment, because of an eye problem, but it crossed my mind that if I did I would experience the same with my foot on the accelerator.

Anyone had the same?

I have had right foot/ankle cramps for the last 2 years or so.  The calf muscle tighens up at night and I have to stretch it back out every morning.

I get that too, mine is more to the left side of my left foot and makes it almost impossible to move my foot so I have to walk straight legged so that I don't move my foot. It hurts like heck and I hate it everytime it feels like that. I also get the feelingin my calf when it gets too bad and that stinks as well.
