What Causes Cramping From Ankle To Thigh?

cramping in my leg starting at the ankle and coming up to the thigh. what can be causing that? Sometimes it is in the left leg not as bad but the right leg is worst. I only had the cramping in the ankle and up to the thigh once but it was bad it took me a minute to get the cramp to stop.
