I haven't had this procedure.  But I want to add something to my last
post.  Besides Botox shots, and  taking Baclofen, I've heard of quinine
water for cramps and toe curling.  I remember a flurry or two of messages
about it on this list, and I know one or two people personally who take
quinine and say that it works.
