What Causes Very Bad Muscle Spasms In Legs?

I get very bad muscle spasms in my legs as well as leg cramps. Mostly when I am laying down for a while and then suddenly get up. Sometimes the leg cramps are pretty extreme and very discomforting and painful. I am not sure if it is because of my back, but I have bad lower back pains as well. The back pains are pretty bad. On a scale from 1 to 10 it is usually a seven or eight. Have you heard of a condition with these symptoms?
