My 81 year old mother often has pain in her legs at night. It wakes her up and she is in a lot of pain. What can she do to help?

Hello Mrs.,

As I explained in the other post, stretching is tried first. If you are able to tell me which muscle is causing a problem, I could suggest stretches that are realistic for her.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
