What Causes Cramps In Leg Leading To Pain Usually During Nights?
I have leg cramps at night that wake me up with severe pain. I have these cramps randomly during a month, no. Pattern. Left leg 4X more often than right leg. Cramps wake me up from sleep and after walking off the cramp, the ache lasts 5 or 6 hours longer. Any ideas?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, claudication could be the cause, some time it could be due to vitamin E deficiency and it can be tried, drink more water, keep the leg in elevated position for some time, with the time it will be okay, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
