What Can Cause Severe Leg Cramps At Night?
severe leg cramps in both legs, with increasing frequency of the episodes..usually occurs at night just as I lay down.. cramping is almost always confined to the upper legs, both legs … Any ideas as to what may be going on ? I am NOT a gym rat or health nut of any sort ..

Hi,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of peripheral vascular disease due to the impaired blood supply to the feet.
As of now, analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
Consult a general surgeon and get a Doppler scan done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
