Nocturnal Leg Cramps - Help!

I was having huge problems with feet and legs up to the knees, pain and tingling especially at bedtime. Tried a lot of remedies nothing helped. I noticed it would be worse if my feet got cold, like when I would walk on concrete barefoot. I have found if I keep my feet warm all the time, during the day I seldom go bare foot, at night socks on my feet until the bed is warm, an extra little blanket over the bottom of my bed. In the winter I have a heating blanket but I only use it to warm the bed before bedtime. Since I started making sure my feet stay warm, I seldom have those issues, if I do I can look back on the day and realize, Yep I ran out to the garbage can barefoot or I got brave and walked in the wet grass, it's always something dumb I did. Good Luck I know how hard this is, it kept me awake for hours before I figured it out.

What is your understanding of how cold feet effect cramping at night? I have cold feet often, and it's a life long thing. But it sounds like your connection to cramping worked for you, and I'll try it. Thanks a lot.
