Hi thanks for posting your query in Healthcare Magic
You're problem is suggesting that you are having cramps in calf muscles. This manifest as sudden contraction of group of muscle remain as swelling for some time and causes intense pain, difficult to move leg. There may be dull aching pain even after relaxation of muscle which may last for hours. This episode may even happen in the night during sleep.
Possible cause. Behind this problem is electrolytes imbalance mainly sodium, magnesium,
Potassium and calcium. You can check their level in blood by investigation. If anything low that can be supplemented as medication
Supplementation of vitamine E relieve symptoms to some extent. Gelatenous capsule Evion is available in market and can be taken after consulting doctor.
Hope this information may be helpful to you. Take Care
