Man, I'm glad you posted that. I get sartorius cramps regularly after leg training - I simply need to add some salt to my diet on those days, especially post training and the issue's solved, but I know those cramps, for sure.
[It's not really noticeable in your pics, as it looks like your right leg is a bit larger than the left anyway.]

On the inner thigh is the worst part but yeah that was just immediate swelling.
It was a combo of both. I tried for a long time to relax it out, felt like an hour but was probably two minutes, and finally I had to crank it straight.
I was having cramping issues in my sleep for a long time, probably two months?, no matter how much water, sodium electrolytes and so on I would take.
After the injury healed and I started training again they came back, added in 500mg of magnesium before bed and haven't had one since. I guess that's what I was lacking.
