:) Hi Pooby,
Yes I have had those! uncomfortable to say the least! If you drink a lot of carbonated beverages, stop. add a calcium pill a day to your meds and foot and leg cramps usually disappear, mine did.
They are caused by a lack of calcium, and probably made worse because of back and nerve issues, Baclofen is a really good muscle relaxer for cramps and spasms, I have done well on it. You might want to talk to your doctor about that. good luck!
HTH, Fabby
