I got them bad in college. And (for reasons unknown to me, I goddamn know better) I thought they would go away if I got in better shape. They got serious. Like every step I took hurt bad, even walking.
So I bought some ice packs and ace bandages and laid down an ace bandage, put the icepack on and held it on with the other ace bandage. I didn't really have time to ice them during the day, and that really did help.
Not sure I'd suggest icing all night (until the icepacks got warm), but ice them as often as you can, and the ace bandage thing will definitely press the cold in.
Just wrap from the outside in, meaning wrap it so you push your calf in towards the middle.
