That's really not fun to have happen; I used to get muscle cramps in my lower back, on my right-hand side, when I worked due to dehydration, repetitive motions, and an overabundance of potassium. I inherited that last from my dad...go figure. I absorb potassium waaaay too easily, so...
Still, the prescription for it cramps just about the same regardless: maintain your electrolytes at appropriate levels, make sure you're well hydrated, and stretch. This last one is something I tend to forget, but it's essential if you're going to have any sort of heavy-duty exercise during the day.
I hope things get better for you. I remember one time when I had to get up and drain my bladder in the middle of the night and couldn't find the zipper...not fun. That's all it took for me to start putting the zipper next to the tie-out for my knee so I could find it regardless of anything else. I can't imagine what would've happened if I had a cramp I couldn't get rid of...
