Most common causes include diabetes, infections (Lyme disease, shingles, EBV, Hep B & C, HIV, leprosy), autoimmune (Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and vasculitis), nerve tumors, kidney disease, liver disease, hypothyroidism, alcohol, trauma and vitamin deficinecy (B vitamins — including B-1, B-6 and B-12 — vitamin E and niacin).

Question

I'm really worried about my wife's situation. She's been having this constant pain and numbness in her calf whenever she tries to sleep at night, and it's really affecting her sleep. We recently did a full blood test, and everything seemed almost normal. Someone suggested she should start taking B complex, so we've been trying that. But is there anything else we can do to get rid of this nighttime calf pain for good?
