Last year I took a course in Shiatsu (acupressure) massage. One spot we
learned about is a point on the inside of your leg under the tibia, about
four fingers up from the ankle. Our text said that this spot is
associated with the female reproductive area; massage of this spot can
relieve cramps. I once gave a massage to someone who knew this but was
very skeptical. Later she told me that she had had bad cramps before
the massage, and they were gone soon after.
Anyway, I hate to see people take medication when it might not be
needed. Maybe you can check to see if this special spot is
sensitive when you are cramped, and if so, try to massage it away.
