Most of the time, no apparent cause for night leg cramps can be identified. In general, night leg cramps are likely to be related to muscle fatigue and nerve problems. The risk of having night leg cramps increases with age. Pregnant women also have a higher likelihood of having night leg cramps. Several conditions, such as kidney failure and diabetic nerve damage, are known to cause night leg cramps. But if you have one of these, you're most likely aware of it and have symptoms other than night leg cramps.
Men and women are equally prone to leg cramps. While they can strike people of all ages, if youâre 50 or older you might get them more often. As painful as they feel, leg cramps are harmless. What Causes Leg Cramps? Experts donât know for sure, but it may be that your nerves sent the wrong signals to your muscles. One theory: Your brain might mistakenly tell your leg to move while you dream. That confuses your calf muscles and causes them to contract incorrectly.
