Suggest Treatment For Multiple Cramps In The Calf Muscle Post Charley Horse

How can I ease the soreness after having a Charley horse ? I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been having multiple leg cramps at night, every night! Today my calf muscle is so sore and tender. It hurts to stretch it and walk on it almost like it is bruised and it is very sensitive to the touch. I Tried to get my husband to massage it but the pain was worse than the pain I was trying to get rid of. How can I get relief?
