My wife had them and before they were treated she had night time leg cramps constantly. Her vein specialist said the cramps were caused by lack of oxygen in the muscle tissue.

When you lay flat at night the blood slowly works it's way back up and can actually block the flow of fresh oxygenated blood and cause severe cramps. Has he ever had a problem with varicose veins?
