What Causes Cramps In The Legs After Passing A Kidney Stone?

I passed a kidney stone a couple of weeks ago and began to experience cramps in the calves of my legs. They sometimes became knotted and very painful and further problematic because I walked when the the condition was acute. I consulted a physician and he had a series of blood draws which were inconclusive. Today, I saw another doctor on a different matter and shared my problem. He recommended that I try Repinirole. The pain is concentrated to the lower half of the calves and is primarily manifest in soreness that is painful when moving. Please give me your assessment.

Further evaluation needs to be done.
It may not be much related to kidney stones.
The cramps and pain may be related to electrolytic disbalance or varicose veins.
You should do:
