I am having severe leg cramps, please read to help me:)

Hi all! Yesterday morning I woke up SCREAMING with severe cramping in my calf. It was horrible,way worse than any charlie horse I have ever had before. I kept getting them every couple of minutes for a couple of hours and I used heating pads and massage during this time The rest of the day my leg was relly sore and my other calve is a little sore. I am thinking it is just really bad muscle cramps so I drank about a gallon of orange juice and took vitamins. Last night I slept with a heating pad on my clave all night long and the cramp never got as bad but my calve is still very sore! Do you guys think it is muscular? I am a very paranoid person by nature haha-=its true:) ) I am kinda worried about blood clots but the pain in my calve is really sharp and seems like my muscles are just being tied in nots and it is a little better. Any response would mean alot! My mom just had major surgery(not WLS) and is in ICU and has been there since thursday. I have been walking around the hospital alot so I wonder if maybe this has contributed to the problem! Thanks so much guys!!!! Love, Jennifer
