If you have leg pain from cramps or overuse, take these steps first:

Rest as much as possible.
Elevate your leg.
Apply ice for up to 15 minutes. Do this 4 times per day, more often for the first few days.
Gently stretch and massage cramping muscles.
Take over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

For leg pain caused by varicose veins, leg elevation and compression with elastic bandages or support hose can help.

For leg pain caused by nerve disorders or claudication, control diabetes, eliminate alcohol and tobacco, and avoid ill-fitting shoes.

I've had this same problem and the pain is getting worse! My mother had crmps leg in the night and the doctor put a low dose of quinine. I will follow your suggestion harryson9890 . Thanks for sharing.
