Step 1
The moment you feel your calf muscle cramping,pinch both sides of the channel beneath your nostrils(technically called the philtrum)between your thumb and index finger.
-
Step 2
Using a firm grip (not too firm)alternately squeeze and slightly twist untill you feel the cramp easing.When you get the right spot there will be no doubt,as the cramp will disappear like a bad dream.
-
Step 3
Step three you're good as new.Go on about your business like nothing ever happened!

on 7/13/2008 I usally feel them coming on...my legs just hurt and I'm afraid that when I sleep it will turn into a full blown leg cramp. I've been getting these on and off since I was a teenager...so that proves and can happen at any age. I was told to eat bananas or take potassium supplements for them, also vitamin-b12 and vitamin b-6 and drinking plenty of water to build up electrolyes helps to. Also I heard if you do routine leg excersises that they can prevent them by pointing your toes toward the body (abduction) and holding it for a few minutes, but I'm afraid to do that is it the same as pointing your toes out away from the body(adduction) because if it is it causes me to get one and the pain is sooo unbearable. Suggestions please?

on 6/2/2008 IT WORKED! I saw and printed out your article a few days ago and - to be honest - I was not too confident that it would work. But to my incredible relief it worked yesterday. We were peacefully sitting and watching a movie and all of sudden I had a terrible leg-cramp, I jumped off the couch like crazy and followed the suggestions in this articles. And I could not believe it, it was away in a few seconds!!! I cannot tell you how happy I am about this because I had such leg-cramps now for ten years, more or less frequently and at any day- or night-time. Magnesium, which the doctor gave me for it, did not help. This helps. THANK YOU!!

on 3/4/2008 Thank you for this. One way to avoid leg cramps is to drink more water. Also, take magnesium and potassium.
