Hi,
You should ask for potassium level in the blood in the first place, as any disturbance in its level can cause this cramps. Secondly, you can take Baclophen tablet which is a muscle relaxant and can help you with this pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
