What Causes Intense Pain In The Legs During The Night?

I have intense pain in my legs at night only. It s one leg at a time. When I roll over to the other side, the pain goes away, but after awhile the new leg hurts. During the day when I am up and about, they do not hurt. They are not sensitive to touch at night though.

Hi.

Sounds to me like an issue with the blood supply to the legs that can be caused by conditions like diabetes, etc. I would recommend visiting to a vascular surgeon and if required an endocrinologist as well to help dealing with this.

Best wishes.
