What Causes Cold And Swollen Feet With Leg Cramps?

Hi I am 72 and reasonably active. For the past few months I have very cold feet, by evening my toes feel swollen (though they don t look swollen). In bed I frequently get locked ankles. I do get a lot of cramp in my leg muscles. I take a magnesium tablet each night and this does seem to help the cramp

Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I think you are having muscle cramps and generalized pain all over the body. In my opinion these pains are likely to be due to vitamins and trace element deficiency specially that of vitamin D.
I will suggest you to got following test to see cause (if these are not done earlier).
1.Serum Vitamin D
2.Serum Vitamin B12
3.T3,T4,TSH(Thyroid profile)
4.Blood sugar fasting and PP
5.Hb
Furthermore Empirically treat my such patients by:-
1.EVION LC
2.VITAMINE D3(if it is low)
3.VITAMIN B COMPLEX AND VITAMIN C
4.CALCIUM
5.Mecobalmine
