HiBex, Tracy, I have also had spasms in my feet which can also be very painful. It seemed to kick off when I changed my diet quite radically i.e. low carb high protein my feet would almost go into a cramp like state but instead of going away quite quickly they would stay in a spasm for ages. I discovered if you changed your diet a lot - especially for more protein and less carbs you can get a build up of uric acid which can cause this pain - like gout - I did go to the doctor and the test for this was clear, but as this all fitted in with when I changed my diet I am convinced that this kicked of my foot pain.

As a side note I have read many times of a much higher amount of younger people getting gout like symptoms when following a high protein diet like Atkins say so this does seem to follow my experience <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
