My girlfriend is 18 suffering from sharp pain on her legs usually happens at night, goes from bottom to top. pain lasts a couple hrs but its strong?

Restless Leg Syndrom: Restless leg syndrome (rls) is the most likely cause of her symptoms. It typically develops at night and can be very uncomfortable. There are a number of medical and surgical treatments. There are other causes which are much less likely at age 18. I would have her consult her physician or a neurologist.
