Nocturnal cramps: See general information belowL https://patient.info/health/cramps-in-the-leg Main treatment is stretching and most medications are ineffective or risky. It would be worthwhile discussing this with your doctor and seeing if there are any other medical conditions you need testing for. All the best.

Cramps: One thing that you might want to start in addition to stretching, etc is proper hydration and taking a daily multi-vitamin. Another suggestion, try a gentle heating pad. These are just suggestions, if your symptoms do not improve dramatically you should have a hands on physical exam from a medical professional.
