May or may not: Be related to the procedure. I would call the doc and make an inquiry, other causes could be low magnesium or potassium or dehydration or possible side effect of medication you are taking so keep those in mind as well.

Leg cramps: Any swelling of your legs? Is it in both legs or just one. The main concern is having a blood clot in your leg called a dvt, which can break off and go to your lungs, called a pe. I would go see your doctor and maybe get an ultrasound of your legs.
