I also wake up with swollen numb hands
Brief Answer:
Further evaluation by your doctor is necessary
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Legs cramps at night may be related to simple conditions such as fatigue of the muscles during the day, dehydration, etc.
But, since there is numbness in the hands too, other conditions, such as peripheral neuropathy, for example, should be considered and evaluated further.
It is necessary to get evaluated by your primary care doctor first, in order to understand better your condition and the possible treatment ways.
Discuss with your doctor about these issues.
Hope I have answered your query.
