tuberculosis of spine (pott's dis). they also present with night cries. reason,,, the affected portion of spine is supported while awake by muscular spasm. when sleeping, muscles relax and this causes pain...> night cries in child

while lying down to sleep at night, there is leg pain which is relieved by dangling the foot over the edge of the bed.

Are you sure?? What is the source ? Would you please like to share ?? I always thought that pain of arterial insufficiency comes during exercise and relieved by rest.I hope you will help regarding the source.

hi sea-gull,

you are describing claudicant pain which occcurs early on in the disease process. as atherosclerosis worsens, it becomes rest pain. i have had this phenomenon demonstrated by my patients esp diabetics.

this link is not bad. http://www.surgery.usc.edu/divisions/vas/legpaina...

am sorry i cannot tell you a book source cos this is something i know. it should be in most basic texts of surgery. try bailey and love's short textbook of surgery, it will be there.
