Are Restless And Painful Legs Due To Peripheral Neuropathy?

I suffer from painful veins in my legs and feet along with peripheral neuropathy in my feet and hands. Every night I am awakened by painful cramps in my thighs, calves, and ankles. Some nights my legs are very jumpy and restless. I have to keep my feet covered all the time as they can get very cold. Is this all related? I was tested for PAD and was told I did not have it.

Hi ,Can understand your concern. As per your query about pain in legs and arms at night seems to be restless leg syndrome and is a kind of muscular pain mainly due to stressful conditions and a lack of proper balanced diet. l advice you to do regular exercise with a multivitamin supplement daily for few months.At night before going to bed you need to do relaxation exercises for a sound sleep. If you are not benefitted by this you should consult a physician for proper examination and investigation for any neural pathology. There is no connection between getting feet cold at night and pain .I hope the information helps you.take care.
