Not related: Most of the time, true night leg cramps occur for no known reason, and they're harmless. However, in rare situations, night leg cramps can be associated with an underlying disorder, such as peripheral artery disease or diabetes restless leg syndrome is sometimes confused with night leg cramps, but it's a separate condition and pain is not a prominent feature.

Unrelated: Sounds like you are getting night cramps. Try calcium 1200 mg at night. See your family dr. For an evaluation.

Your accident may: Or may not be related. I would try taking magnesium supplements before bedtime and see if that makes a difference. (magox 400mg, is a good brand.).
