I found that flexing my foot makes it go away.  Do not point your foot though pain will increase

I heard the cramps is because of not enough calcium.  If you go to your symptoms page on this app you can putnin your symptoms like legs cramps then push ok, it will come up with a explanation mark beside it, click on it and it will give u information on that symptom. Massaging the area helps too.
