Yes, I believe it can. I was on extreme amounts of calcium (8000 mg/day plus 2 mcg of Calcium/Vitamin D supplement) due to damage to my parathyroids. I started having muscle cramps in my neck, arms, legs and back. I mentioned it to my doctor and after a blood test it was found I did have too much calcium in my blood. They said that cramping could be a sign of too much calcium (as well as too little calcium).
