Levocarnitine as such as no proven role for muscle cramps pain relief. As the pain here is due to varicose veins, treatment should be towards varicose vein. Leg elevation, compression stockings till thigh, varicosectomy surgically or with laser may help. Levocarnitine may give effect of well-being. Your mother should take aspirin too to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Your dad may have diabetic neuropathy and pain may be due to that. Control of diabetes and dyslipidemia is of utmost importance.
