What Is The Treatment For Cramping Pain In The Legs And Calf?

Recently the random calf leg cramps on the right leg are becoming more frequent. That is the only area so far. I have noticed there is a great deal more, (75%) bruising on that calf, while little on the other limbs. Is there a connect from non-violent connect/sports to cramping and bruising? If so, any suggestions on how to take care of this?
