Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Leg cramps can be due to many medical conditions.

Overuse of the leg muscles is one of the common causes.

I recommend using over the counter muscle relaxant medication such as Ibuprofen Baclofen three tablets a day.

I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren cream.

I suggest taking magnesium supplements.

I suggest to stretch the cramped muscles.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
