Ayurveda Specialist 's  Response
1. rule out diabetes, calcium and salt deficiency, any relation of pain with numbness, burning, positional??
2. doing too much of aerobic exercises or standing/sitting for long hours causes calf muscles to get fatigued, which cannot clear the build up lactic acid, resulting in pain while retiring into bed.
3. if your doctor see no problem of muscle fatigue, it could be circulatory problem, under active thyroid.
4. could be nocturnal cramps.
5. advise of Physiotherapist and Ayurveda Abhyang (leg massage) are also useful clinical procedures.
6. start taking omega 3 fatty acids, and Vit.E long term therapy.

it is some thing to do with the less in the potassium levels in the body and not in blood. so blood levels will be normal. try consuming more of bananna and tender coconut to keep the potassium level

Homeopath Dr. Subhash Ponkiya's  Response
hello,
welcome to HCM,

Though nighttime leg cramps are common, But most of the time it is not because of illness. Some of the things that may cause leg cramps include:

-Getting too much exercise or overusing the muscles.
-Standing on concrete for a long time, sitting for a long time, or putting your legs in awkward positions while you sleep.
-Not having enough potassium, calcium, and other minerals in your blood.
-Being dehydrated, which means your body has lost too much fluid.
-Taking certain medicines, such as antipsychotics, birth control pills, diuretics, statins, and steroids.
-Having flat feet.
-Having thyroid disease.
try to find out what is suit you. and give me reply by mail.
