“I sometimes have a sharp pain at night in my calf muscles. Could it be something serious?”
I sometimes experience a sharp and a shooting pain at night in my calf muscles. I believe that it could be in a vein since one of them is protruding slightly. Could it be something serious?

Night leg cramps are one of the common symptoms of vein disease. It is possible that cramps of the legs may be related to chronic venous insufficiency. When one has venous insufficiency the venous blood refluxs (flows backward) down the veins and pools in the legs. This pooling of venous blood is a source of the symptoms of vein disease, including leg cramps.
