A week ago I suddenly got a horrible cramp/charlie horse in the muscle of the arch of my right foot. It caused my big toe to flex to the left, away from my other toes. Luckily it only lasted about 5 minutes and I was able to massage it out.
Since then the muscle has felt weird. For the first couple days I just assumed it was sore. Now, I'm thinking that's not the problem. If I feel or rub the muscle it does not feel any different then the same muscle on my left foot. I don't notice it feeling rigid or more tense. But, that muscle constantly feels like it is just about to start cramping.
During one of my pregnancies I had a few charlie horses in my calve when I was sleeping and stretched my toes up (not pointed, but stretched them back towards my leg, if that makes sense?) I learned to not stretch while in bed.
Now I'm afraid to stretch my right foot, or to move it in much, because it just feels like one tiny wrong move and it is going to cramp up. I've tried massaging it, and I've tried icy hot rub on it, and it doesn't help.
Is this spasticity? Or just a sore muscle from the muscle cramp a full week ago?
Thanks!
