Hello welcome to the health care magic
For muscle cramps neurological examination has to be done first.
Hypocalcemia, electrolyte disturbance etc should be ruled out by serum calcium, serum pottasium, serum sodium investigation.
Than if needed EMG or NCV like study done.
Consult neurologist for examination and discuss your case
Take care
Hope this will help you
