Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to calf cramps.
I suggest using muscle relaxant such as Baclofen to relieve the cramps.
I also suggest using magnesium supplements.
Warm compresses can also be helpful.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
