Swelling

In serious cases, an individual may notice their leg swelling after they experience a leg cramp. This swelling may be due to fluid buildup in the legs or inflammation of the muscle tissue or joints.

If swelling is found after a leg cramp, it is advised that individuals seek medical attention. This could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a blood clot or even heart disease.
