Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring spasms in right leg with pain in right calf . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like muscle cramp , shin splints , tendinitis , blood clot , multiple sclerosis , not having enough potassium, calcium, and other minerals in your blood , dehydration . Sometimes the symptoms also occur due to deficiency of vitamin E . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon to discuss the condition .
