I am assuming you mean 6-8 cups of water a day?
If so, you could be dehydrated, believe it or not.
Plain water can flush out minerals.
This happened to my son; he drinks so much water but was quite ill and I took him to the Doctor. His urine showed a high specific gravity; he was flushing out minerals.
We went to an IV bar and had a ringer solution IV, which helped. Now he drinks a lot more Gatorade (he mows in the summer and sweats a lot.)
We bought urine test strips to check his specific gravity at home. It also can show protein in the urine, which he had at the doctor’s office.
I would recommend getting urine test strips and drinking lots of Gatorade. And consider getting an IV with extra electrolytes. (Ringer Solution.)

Hi Lanetta,Sorry for your pain.. If you buy some Vaper Rub - the kind you use for a chest cold. Rub on the area that cramps-up, it will stop the pain right away. I also would buy a bottle of Magnesium and take 1-2 every week day. Stop on weekends and start on Mondays to Fridays only. Gives your body time to use all extra that might get build-up throught the week. You should do this with all supplements.
God Bless
