Stretching does NOT help MC contractions, in my experience, and can actually worsen them. You have to force the muscle to shorten, relieve the cramp, and then stretch the uncramped muscle. Stretching the cramped muscle will make it cramp harder.

That said, EXERCISE is the best thing you can do for the condition! The size of your muscles is NOT associated with the severity of symptoms. Hypertrophy is in itself harmless. Exercise moderately every day, and you will be in the least pain.
