A sudden involuntary contraction in the leg muscles often gives rise to painful cramps. Some of the probable causes can be as follows:

Dehydration caused from strenuous physical workouts or laborious jobs is one of the prime causes of leg cramps.

Insufficient supply of blood to your legs owing to narrowing of arteries, a condition called arteriosclerosis.

Compression of nerves in the spine.

Depletion of potassium, calcium and sodium levels caused by taking diuretics.

Loss of muscle mass owing to aging.

Vitamin deficiency

Shortage of carbohydrate

Trauma or any injury

Stiff muscles

Pregnancy

Underlying medical conditions like diabetes or problems in liver and thyroid.
