What Causes Debilitating And Painful Spasms In The Leg?

I shattered my calcaneus(and fractured the ankle) last November; I also had a lot of soft tissue damage. No surgery, recovery went well and am still attending Physio. In the past 3 months I have started getting debilitating, painful spasms in the same leg. The Physios and doctors aren t concerned. What could it be?
