leg cramp

I woke up around 5 am from an excrutiating leg cramp. It lasted a good 30 seconds taking my breath away. It is now 9:15 and my leg is still a little cramped up. Has anyone experienced this? How do I get it to relax? I can walk on it and everything its just slightly painful.

I get about 5 of these a night now in my calf muscles. Along with the restless leg syndrome I've been having. Leg cramps are awful!
