Step 1
First find the space from the bottom center of your nose to where your upper lip meets.
-
Step 2
Take your thumb and forefinger and pinch this area as you apply constant pressure. Do not pinch so hard as to injure or bruise your skin. A firm steady pressure will do.
-
Step 3
You can remove your fingers as soon as you feel relief from the leg cramp or spasm. It is usually fairly quick. Some state complete relief in seconds or two minutes.

on 3/8/2009 I'll try this next time! My method for calf cramps is to push hard with my heel. This stretches the calf area, which is what it needs.

on 12/3/2008 I have done this for years and it does work. I have also discovered that wearing cotton socks and, in colder weather, also wearing cotton leggings, prevents these ghastly leg cramps.
