What Causes Severe Cramps In The Thigh Muscle?

Last night, as I arose from my couch after watching television, I had SEVER cramps with the inner muscle (from the knee to the groin) of both thighs. No matter what position I took, the pain remained, or worsened, til I nearly fainted. After 5 minutes, it all went away and hasn t returned. What happened??
