What are some of the causes of reoccurring leg pain at night?

Answer 1

i believe it may be caused by a blood clot in the main blood vessels supplying your leg. the reason for you only experiencing this at night is because your heart is beating at a different rate than when your fully awake, which can cause movement of the clot. i wouldl strongly advise you to see a doctor as soon as possible, as the clot could travel to your heart or lungs which could be fatal.

Answer 2

I read that statin drugs, for clestrol reduction, cause muscle-skeletal pain in 30% of those using it. I have not determined it to be the cause but fell it may be related. Relieve can be gained by deep knee bends and walking about the room for about 10 mins.....

If anyone has other ideas for relief, please share.

Answer 3

There are many causes of leg pain at night and while most are not serious a visit to your physician can rule out anything serious and he/she could give you some exercises or even a muscle relaxant to help relax you so that you can sleep.

Answer 4

A common cause of leg pain at night is from having charley horses. This can take place in the leg or the feet. There is some medications that can cause this pain, or also lack of certain minerals in your diet that causes muscles to cramp. Also, overexurtion.

Answer 5

This can be from a lot of things:

1. Restless leg syndrome.

2. Muscle issues because of vitamins missing or medicines

3. Nerve issues with the spine.

4. PAD which is peripheral artery disease, a buildup of plaque in leg arteries.

sometimes called claudication.

So as you can see, this is something that you should see a doctor about.

Answer 6

Severe leg pain at night could be a symptom of Restless Leg Syndrome or a potassium deficiency. If the leg pain seems to get better when you get up and move, it may be RLS and you should see your doctor. If it is a potassium deficiency, try eating a banana and drinking a glass of milk before you go to bed.
