Muscle Pain, Occurs While Lying Down

Hi I am seem to be having pain/ aching in the muscles in the tops of my legs at night. It only seems to occur once I lie down to go to sleep. It runs down the muscles and the only relieff is if I lie with my legs in front of me but in an arch position. I eventually can drop off to sleep but only after a long while, but I seem to have it most of the night. It is vey painfull Thank You

Hi
There are three major condition which affects calf muscles.
If you have lower back pain it may be due to nerve root compressing supplying the calf muscles.
