Most likely the leg cramps are from not being able to move much for so long. Is there anyone who can massage your calf a bit? That would probably feel nice.

If your leg starts swelling a lot, go to the ER because you could have a blood clot. Wiggling your foot and toes and getting your leg massaged will also help prevent blood clots.
