Until VV fixed: Muscle cramping is often a common symptom of venous insufficiency, and when this is corrected, the cramping often lets up within days/weeks. See www.Phlebology.Org, and check out a phlebologist in your area who can help you sort out the cause.

Until fixed: If the cramping is caused by varicose veins, symptoms will not go away until the veins are treated correctly. You can try compression stockings of at least 20-30mmhg. If you feel that the cramping may be coming from varicose veins you should have a duplex ultrasound completed in the standing position.

Until you treat: Drs. Isobe and hansen are right. They won't go away until you do something to treat your veins. Fortunately, not every visible vein has to be treated before you get relief. Nevertheless, if you don't do something about your veins, you might never get any relief. See a vein specialist.
