You might need more sodium or potassium.
I get them all of the time and they hurt like @#$%.
Do you have any bananas in the house?
Pretzels?
Saltines?
Eat a bunch, hopefully the salt or potassium will flood into the muscle and it will relax the contraction.
Feel better

Re: horrendous toe cramp!! help!
i get really really bad foot cramps, where my toes curl and I cant move them. my doc said to eat bananas and drink water - cramping is a sign of dehydration and low potassium (i also had a bone tumor in the foot i am talking about, thats why i went to the doc)

For a quick fix, go stand on your bathroom or kitchen tile. For some reason the cold combined with trying to flatten your foot out helps. I know because I get them constantly; it really works.
