Hello @margaretob, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I know it must be hard not being able to sleep because of the leg cramps. Hoping you can find some answers or suggestions from other members. I have occasionally had leg cramps at night but it's always due to not drinking enough water for me. Here is another discussion that you may want to read through and learn what has helped other members:

Here's what Mayo Clinic has to say about leg cramps https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/muscle-cramp/symptoms-causes/syc-20350820

Can you let us know how your appointment with the neuropathic doctor goes? Hopefully you will get some answers.

No appointment, Doctor does not take my insurance. Back to the CLINIC tomorrow if I can move my legs. I hate going to the emergency room for this pain. I am stretching and trying to walk, the GABAPENTIN 300 mg is not helping yet. How long does it take to kick in? M.
