I have been have severe pain that lasts for about 5 minutes, stiffing my toes up, and the bottom of the foot cramps that is really unbearable I start crying cuz it hurt so bad. Sometimes it is once or twice a week. I know I already have bunions, rhomatoid arthiritis, and hammer toes. I was supposed to have surgery in the army about 4 years ago, but got kicked out before having surgery. Is this pain I'm having due to those illnesses I already have or do you think its something else.

It's very possible that the pain you have is from all of these illnesses. You need to see a Podiatrist as soon as possible. This is the best doctor to take care of all of your problems.
In the meantime you can soak your feet in hot water with 1c. of that epsom salts to relieve the pain.

Understand that I am not a doctor or other health professional. This is not to be considered as health advice.
I have experienced foot pain just as you described and this is what worked for me. I took niacin for the foot cramps and magnesium (both very expensive at Wal-Mart or any drug store) for the pain.
Good luck.

Yes, it is highly likely that it is happening from your arthritis and hammer toes. If you are taking medications for your rheumatoid it could be contributory to that too. Some of those meds strip your potassium, it wouldn't hurt to eat some bananas. Sounds simple but it works. Good Luck
