Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain And Cramps In The Legs

For months I ve been plagued with extreme nightly leg pain/cramps. They come every few hours through the night... In my legs, feet & at times toes. I have tried products to balance electrolytes, drinking more water, & Leg Cramps over the counter pills from a health food store. I saw a heart/vein Doctor a few weeks ago who ordered vein mapping tests which I did have done last week. I ve also tried some over the counter compression stockings. I will follow up with my doctor later this week for the results of the mapping. My question for you is: might their be another possible condition with these same symptoms?
