Don’t Ignore Leg Cramps at Night: Here’s What You Should Know
Nighttime leg cramps—sudden, painful tightening of the calf or foot—are common, especially as we get older. Most are harmless, but frequent or severe cramps can sometimes be linked to medications, dehydration, muscle overuse, or an underlying health condition.
When a cramp strikes, gently stretch the affected muscle, massage it, and try standing or walking carefully if you can do so safely.
If cramps are happening often, disturbing your sleep, lasting a long time, or occurring along with swelling, weakness, numbness, skin changes, or significant pain, talk with a healthcare professional rather than assuming they’re simply part of aging.
Your body is giving you information—pay attention to it.
