I'll be honest, when I read this a few days ago I kind of rolled my eyes.
After an attack of a severe cramp on the inside of my right thigh this evening and feeling desperate, I tried it.
I won't swear that it wasn't the Gatorade, copious amounts of water, pushing in the muscle and trying to straighten it out or the mustard that worked...but something did.
Thanks.
