That is reassuring: With the testing you had it is reassuring that nothing of concern is going on You need to look after yourself with healthy food and good hydration. Lack of certain minerals or salts might give you these symptoms like potassium, calcium or magnesium Also it is important to keep yourself well hydrated And yes calf twitching and spasms can be painful

Minerals: Often calf spasms related to overuse but may also be caused by dehydration or lack of minerals like calcium or magnesium or potassium. Any reason for dehydration or mineral imbalance?
