Yes. A spasm is the painful tightening of a muscle that comes on suddenly. It can last for a few moments to a few hours. They can occur in the calf and thigh. They can be caused by drugs, dehydration, exercise, strenuous exercise such as running, insufficient amount of minerals in the diet, pregnancy, exposure to cold, and other medical conditions. For relief, try warm showers or baths, massage, cold packs, OTC pain medication, drink an adequate amount of fluids. You can also try pointing your "toes to your nose" quickly if you feel one coming on during the night. That technique can halt a spasm before it fully develops. Some people suffer chronic long lasting muscle spasms. One chronic condition that causes muscle spasms is myofascial pain syndrome. Another is fibromyalgia.
