I am not sure what exercises you are doing presently and what preceding activity has led to the pain in your calf muscles. Kindly be specific when and after what kind of activity or incident you developed or noticed pain. That will help professionals to identify and provide more specific solutions for your problems.
Next Steps
You can try self stretching of calf muscles with muscle relaxant medication or best approach a musculoskeletal/orthopedic physiotherapist for further advice.
Health Tips
Please do not delay to seek help or you may end up worsening your condition.

One reason for cramps is deficiency of potassium which is found abundantly in fruits like banana, coconut water.. Muscle pain can also be caused by vit d deficiency which u can supplement with vit d capsules/sachet
