After a cramp muscles usually becomes tight for some time, i would advice you to apply ice over it and take meloxicam . You need to take rest,do not use stairs or stand for long time. Your muscle spasm will go in a day or two. You should not massage your leg . For prevention of cramps in future take a rich salt diet and also calcium rich foods like egg, fish. Avoid direct cold air over your body when you are sleeping.
