Are you drinking properly? Vitamin and mineral imbalances can cause these and I would be suspicious of that given they're occuring regularly. As well as this, as there is lingering pain then I'd also wonder if there is something like a minor sprain or strain which is put more tension on the area and causing problems such as this. Really, as this is occurring quite a bit I would keep yourself rested, no running, walking only at a normal pace, not a brisk walk, though keep moving. Heat pads may help or a hot water bottle. As mentioned above, if the pain is really affecting you you could try something like Ibuprofen, however, that can mask the signs. If you do take this make sure you have no problems which go against it's use or take any drugs that interfere with it. Also make sure you take it as said on the label and with food but really I'd only take it if the pain is really getting to you.
If the cramping hasn't stopped for a couple of days by the time you get home mention it to your doctor. If it gets worse then you may be able to see a doctor over there depending where you are and where you've come from.
