Are muscle creams safe?

Hello ladies I am  26wks now and for the past 3days my calf on my right leg has been KILLING ME!  I had a cramp in my leg while sleeping and when I woke up about 3 hrs later it just hurt so bad it kinda feels like its still cramped I have tried a massager, a heat pad, a epsom salt bath and nothing is working. It hurts to walk or stand on it and now I feel like the knee to my toes are swollen. I dont think I can handle it anymore. I am almost crying it hurts so bad. But my question is: is it safe to use the muscle creams like bengay and such??? I am in pain and tylenol just dont cut it at all! Thanks ladies!

It says on the back to consult a doctor before using them. I asked my doctor if it was okay to use icyhot and he gave the okay.
