May I suggest (as long as you are not sensitive to salicylates/aspirin) either black haw or crampbark?

Painkillers are all well and good, but because those two herbs are EXTREMELY specific to smooth muscle cramps (as opposed to skeletal muscle cramps), they are the bomb for Teh Kramp.

The Cramp Bark Extra on this page is especially good. They even sell it in a teeny bottle that fits nicely in a purse:

If cramps are a usual thing, use the Phase 1 support long-term and the Cramp Bark Extra for short-term symptomatic relief.

Oh, and Dr. Tori Hudson (the naturopath what formulated those products) is a SMART monkey.

You can also just go to Strawberry Fields and buy a black haw and/or crampbark tincture and take a dropperful every fifteen minutes as needed, if they don't have the Cramp Bark Extra.
