Dear patient
Cramps in calf after below knee slab are not common it can occur due to stiffness of calf muscles. There is nothing to worry as it will subside within few days. Do range of motion exercises for knee and ankle apply hot water fomentation of calf muscles. If it's causing pain take tab diclofenac 50mg twice a day. All the best.
