Tonic Water: Take 3 or 4 ounces of schwepps tonic water, at least at night, or you can do it twice a day if you get the cramps during the day. If not better, see your physician.

Many possibilities: Sounds like these aches are pretty bothersome, and would best be sorted out by seeing your doctor. There are a lot of considerations here and a detailed history would help narrow it down. Considerations range from medication side effects to endocrine problems, to electrolyte disturbances, to autoimmune to musculoskeletal, and more. Good luck.
