What Causes Leg Pain During The Night?

I woke up during the night with a dull ache in my right leg. When I got up this morning, I had hamstring pain and it appears to be getting worse? Any ideas? If it is a possible hamstring injury, why would it not occur during my run? Instead, while in bed?

Hi,

This appears to be a mechanical type of pain. The most mechanical pains occurs during the period of rest, mechanical pains are common for arthritis and continuous mild injuries.
