Suggest Treatment For Severe Leg Pain During The Night
Hi I have leg pain during the night and cannot get back to sleep because of the pain. It is not a cramp. It starts at the calf on the right side of the leg and goes into the ankle. What can cause this? I have spinal stenosis and arthritis worst in the left knee than the right.
Your symptoms seem to be related to arthritis. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen three times a day. I also recommend using heat compresses for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
