When you use your feet a lot, your leg muscles could swell, and it could take them hours to get back to normal. High expansion could cut off the blood supply and could cause a cramp. The best solution for these types of cramps would be to replace your heels with flats to ease the strain. If giving up heels is not possible then switch to sneakers during lunchtime and walk a bit to give your legs a break from your cruel shoes/sandals.
Sit with your feet higher then your hips couple times a day. This reduces swelling and forces fluid to drain. Another good way to give rest to your feet: Lie on your back with your legs straight against the wall so that your body forms an L. Rest in this posture for few minutes.

Somewhere around 84% of Americans suffer from deficiencies of Magnesium.
Magnesium can clear up restless leg syndrome and Charlie Horses, and muscle cramps and spasms.
It also chases Calcium out of soft tissues back into the bones (which can provide some relief for Arthritis, as well.).
It can help with heart problems, and the deficiency is creditted with turning hair prematurely grey – my supplements have not changed my hair back, but I cannot say they might have spared me greying faster.
Ginger root (I prefer crystallized or candied Ginger) helps stop stomach cramps, nausea, morning sickness, etc, and I find lately I’m finding it being recommended for a lot of other pains, too – and is recommended to be applied to painful areas in a paste some say that stuff will be absorbed in the skin within 20 minutes, so I guess that might be a fair recommendation).
I am off of Prescriptions which I had to cope with for 20 years for stomach problems, due to Magnesium supplements and Candied Ginger Root.
Several of my fr iends who tried all the prescriptions they could for Restless Leg Syndrome, finally got a chemical analysis, and were surprised to learn they were Magnesium deficient, after I told them that would help. They decided to let the doctor procede with tests, first – not a bad idea, what if it had been something else, and it went undetected? They later reported the MAgnesium cleared up their problems.
