Thank you for your suggestions. I thought I was drinking enough water, plus I take magnesium pills and use magnesium sea oil at night. I also wear compression stocking since I’ve had breast cancer. I will start a journal and see where that leads me. Thank you.
Leg cramps can indeed be a side effect of methotrexate, a common medication used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here are some recommendations for managing leg cramps:
- Stretching Your Muscles: Stretch both before and after physical activity. If cramps occur at night, try stretching or lightly exercising before bed

I stretch before going to bed. I walk my dogs at night then stretch I’ve had leg and feet cramps.
Leg cramps can be a medication side effect, such as Methotrexate.
I found that stretching my legs just before bed did help. And I discovered I wasn't drinking enough water. You should aim for >90 oz daily.
In the past I also found that it was, for me, connected to not getting enough fat in my diet and not enough of a certain vitamin.
There's many things it could be so you just have to journal and rule them out one by one.
