My H has PPMS and has trouble moving his legs at night. He complains that this feet ( the heel part that touches the mattress) hurt. Should I be moving his legs around at night? Is he at risk for blood clots? He wears socka to bed and sometimes puts a pillow under his feet as well.

Not sure what else to do.
They sell sheep skin booties that he can put on his feet so they stay wrapped up and less chance of that pressure being on his heels. Perhaps this would help him feel less pain, and therefore stay asleep? Is there a way to prop his feet on pillows so they are not dug into the mattress?
