I am a 61 yr old male, smoke about a pack a day and about 20 lbs over weight. I get lower leg and foot cramps at night (sleeping) more often than what s considered normal if you will. The right lower leg (calf) is and has been for over 6 mo/yr, very sore. Even massaging it is very painful. I have had a vein replacement surgery in my left leg due to very poor circulation. But it s the right lower leg that give me a fit. There is pain when I try to stretch the muscles, pain when I walk, and really there is pain to the touch. I have tried moist heat and that helps some but it certainly does not eliminate the pain. I am fairly active, I am a care giver for my 88 yr old Father and I do everything here at the house so I am constantly in pain. HELP!!!
