This may seem crazy, but try salt. I find when I get charlie horses, it's either salt or potassium. I laughed in the face of the guy who told me that once and he said, hey, try it. Eat something salty and see if they don't stop. And he's right. American diets are so focused on low sodium that especially in the time of year when we sweat more, we can actually not be getting enough. But I can't imagine a doctor every prescribing more salt!
The other thing I would try is a good pair of custom fit orthotics. It may be an external and not an internal problem.
But I (literally) feel your pain. I have princess feet and it has shortened many a workout, beyond throwing me out of bed in the middle of the night. Bunion surgery helped A LOT. So does keeping my feet elevated when watching tv.
