Severe leg cramps at night

RussianMommy

I've woken up 3 times with severe leg cramps, to the point where I need to even scream a little bit. It's so painful. I woke up today feeling like I had done calf raises.

In my personal training course, we were taught that lack of calcium does not cause cramping and with the amount of tums I consume, I don't think I have a calcium deficiency

Anyone else dealing with this? What's causing it?
