Cramp in artery: In the artery one gets clots or dissection. When that occurs there is excruciating pain and if a clot the leg below the clot is cold/ numb and pulseless ,it is a medical emergency and go to ER immediately. A cramp in the muscle due to low potassium ,magnesium ,calcium ( or high calcium), exercise, autoimmune. Replenish electrolytes if low, epsom salt bath ,massage. F/U today with doc

See a physician: I assume you are having pain in your groin area. Arteries cannot have "cramps". Time to see a physician for an exam
