Dear patient
Bilateral leg cramps is mostly due to calcium deficiency or due to vascular narrowing. But if it is due to vascular narrowing it appears after walking certain distance and relieved by rest. So I would advise first undergo blood calcium and phosphorus levels and then if it turns nnormal then go for mri of lumbosacral spine.
