Hi,
It is due to calf muscle spasms. It can be due to overexertion, dehydration, over or underuse of muscles.
It needs rest/hot pack/plenty of water with salt&sugar/calcium, vitamin E supplement.
In case there is no relief, muscle relaxants can be helpful, after the physical examination (to exclude other problems like deep vein thrombosis). Please consult your family doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
