Foot cramps are non-voluntary spasms that can last from a few minutes to a few days, and they can affect a muscle or a muscle group. Such spasms can leave the muscle sore even after the pain is gone. The inner arch of the foot and toes, especially the big toe, can be affected. There are common causes of foot cramps, including a sedentary lifestyle, injury caused by repetitive motion, poor blood circulation, and low calcium or potassium levels. To alleviate the pain, move the foot in a direction opposite to the cramp to relieve the undue stretch on the muscle fatigue.
