Does Restless Leg Syndrome Cause Recurring Cramps In The Knee And Ankle?

I do have restless syndrome and take medication for it. But for the last three days, I m getting cramps from right under the knee to the ankle. I also have arthritis, and received a cortisone shot in my knee about a month ago. But this is new and I do know that leg cramps can cause PE s, which is how my Mother died.
