Use the spoon massage method. Google spoon massage for calf cramps- you will see some videos. Take a tablespoon, hold the round part in your hand and use the long handle to gently massage the areas you are feeling the cramp in. For example, if your cramp is in your calf, start from the ankle and gently bring the spoon handle up toward your knee and adding little pressure , but if it hurts, lessen the pressure. I found that I don’t need to put a lot of pressure on my muscle I’m massaging. Don’t go up and down. Start From bottom and go up. Do this 5-10 times and it should help. Well it helps me…
I hope it helps you.
Loved all the other tips- will try the standing on tip toes. Next time. Hope you feel better soon
