Why do cramps occur in legs especially at night?and what can be done ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor circulation: If these cramps occur when asleep with your legs up on the bed you can try hanging legs of bed. You may be having circulation issues. Do you smoke? If you do, that is contributing to your circulation issues. I recommend you stop. See your podiatrist or primary care doctor for a full vascular workup.
