What Causes Painful Cramps In The Toes With Tingling Sensation In The Calves?
I m having painful cramping in my left toes and it feels somewhat like a charlie horse. It is difficult to get them to straighten back out. They are staying more bent than normal when not experiencing one of these cramps and I m unable to fully make a fist or bend them. With this my left leg is experiencing tingling in the back right above the knee down into the calf. What could this be and should I make an appointment that may takes weeks or go to an emergency room?
