help with leg cramps

Ive been having leg cramps for the past few days. It usually feels like growing pains in my knee and sometimes up my thighs. I have tried lying in left side and right side and my back and no position really helps relieve it.
Are there any exercises or things I can do to help get the blood flowing and lessen the pain?
It wakes me up a lot, I havent had more than four hours sleep in a while.

Walking , stretching and while you are getting the cramp strech your legs and massage the area even if it hurts to stretch it while its happening stretching it will make it go away faster . I used to get then bad in my calves so bad i woke up and let out a scream once or twice cuz it hurt so bad but i discovered stretching my leg out really helped i dont even get them anymore :)

Try having a banana before going to bed. It really works for me.
