Experiencing Excruciating Cramping And Spasming In Mt Anterior Shin/ankle Area And Posterior Feet. Cure?

I have been experiencing excruciating cramping and spasming in mt anterior shin/ankle area and posterior feet, occasionally calf . Occurs after me feet are elevated and /or once I m in bed. The cramps coincidentally seem to be happening more frequently -nearly very night x several x a night since sustains multiple injuries ( torn rotator cuff , wrist sprain , sprain shoulder, strained pelvic and back ). The only thingnthatnguves me any relief is to roll my foot on a frozen bottle of water. I take may supplements, have started taking a potassium and mag daily. I drink 1-2x/month, smoke 1 cig a day. No soda . Drink 1-2 cups coffee, and water -probably not enough water. Any suggestions ? I m in dire need of a nights sleep and relief. Oh I m a nurse and work 13 hr shifts .
