Does anybody know if it is seen as quite normal for my 4yr old to be suffering with cramp in her feet. (around the area near her ankle bone, top of foot). It really causes her distress & I have to give some calpol to help ease the pain. I seem to think that they shouldn't, but I'm not a doctor & the earliest appointment to see the doctor is 21st of this month. Thanks

Two of my four children have suffered with cramps in the legs or feet. One got them quite bad. The hospital couldn't find anything wrong, and apparently its quite common. I put it down to growing pains. Keep a bit of warming gel (deep heat or some such) and try that. Hope it soon passes

My stepson used to have craps in his legs/feet when he was in bed at night. I think it is just partly growing pains & the fact he doesn't keep still all day. (bikes, scooters, rollerskates etc)
I wouldn't worry too much about it, but probably best to see a doc just to be on the safe side & put ur mind at ease.

Try some moist heat to the foot that and pain reliever may help until you can see the doctor. If it is persistent and won't go away go to your local 24-Hour clinic or emegency room.
