I've had some pretty bad muscle spasms lately, though not usually my toes. Often, homeopathic Mag Phos helps. It's a "tissue salt" and can be found at most health food stores and suppliers of homeopathic remedies. I'm sure you could find it on the Internet if necessary. These are tiny pills that you dissolve under your tongue--and that can't pose a conflict with any of your other medications.
