Not entirely sure what you mean. It isn't a "charlie horse"?
What I do know is that charlie horses are caused by a lack of potassium. If possible, get some potassium in you to prevent other muscle cramping.
As long as I get enough potassium, I'm free of charlie horses and other like cramps. I'd definately give it a try. You can't really lose anything!
Good luck!

I once suffered from severe leg cramps. Ask you phramacist - there is a really inexpensive pill you can take to prevent the leg cramps. Good Luck!
