Question
My partner is a 33-year-old woman who experiences foot weakness at night while sleeping. This has occurred before her menstrual periods and now happens every night, severe enough to prevent her from sleeping. She has previously tried ointments and medications, but the effects have been not obvious (not noticeable). I hope to receive suggestions for improving her sleep quality.
Answer
It is recommended to undergo a detailed physical examination at a hospital, including tests for trace elements. This symptom is quite common at this age and is often related to calcium deficiency. Consider supplementing with easily absorbable calcium supplements, as this treatment usually leads to improvement. Additionally, be cautious not to let the lower limbs become cold, and consume moderate amounts of bone broth and similar foods, which can also be helpful.
