What Causes Cramps And Cold Feeling In Legs At Night?

I just started getting leg cramps at night. I wear warm socks to prevent my toes from cramping, now my calves are cramping and my legs are cold. The last couple of nights I have used the heating pad on my legs, it helps a little but it is uncomfortable. What should I look at in my diet that I need to do.

Hi.

Leg cramps can be sign of dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and many other causes. Advising you a diet without knowing what your current diet is lacking really does not make sense to me and so I would first recommend an elaborate blood panel to be conducted after which we can help you with a diet thay can help prevent your presentation.

Best wishes.
