I'm so sorry to hear this. Leg spasms are the worst. Contact your GP. I have been prescribed Naproxen and pregabalin for leg spasms and nerve pain in my legs, as I suffer quite badly with it. I've also found that a heat pad, and then after 20 minutes changing to frozen vegetables or whatever you have in your freezer wrapped in a tea towel, helps. Also, if you have a partner, getting them to gently massage the legs helps.
Have a chat with your GP about Baclofen too.
