Just got off of work and sat down to eat and I noticed my leg started to hurt pretty bad out of nowhere. It feels like cramp pain but its not cramping. The pain stops if I lay down, its also twitching a tiny bit. Is this bad?

Whats the difference between leg cramps and actual leg pain? My pain lasts only few minutes when it happens. No longer than 10 minutes. It happens at random times especially while walking after getting out of bed or while in bed. Thanks
