Mother's legs nerves get freeze during night times, observed mostly in winter. why it happens and how to avoid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold Legs: This is common in older individuals and is usually the result of less effective circulation to the lower extremities. Keeping hydrated can help ensure adequate delivery of blood and nutrients to the legs during sleep, as can something as simple as wearing tube socks at night. If she has no reason to avoid aspirin (allergy or bleeding), she could add a baby aspirin daily to aid circulation.
