Why're my legs cramping up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscles irritated.: Tired/irritated muscles cramp up, and they get that way with strenuous exercise, prolonged standing, sitting, venous incompetence where the venous valves leak resulting in increased venous pressure in the leg veins. See a phlebologist by logging on www.Phlebology.Org and find one in your area.

Just got off of work and sat down to eat and I noticed my leg started to hurt pretty bad out of nowhere. It feels like cramp pain but its not cramping. The pain stops if I lay down, its also twitching a tiny bit. Is this bad?
Whats the difference between leg cramps and actual leg pain? My pain lasts only few minutes when it happens. No longer than 10 minutes. It happens at random times especially while walking after getting out of bed or while in bed. Thanks
