In my case, when crankarms are too long, it's much safer for me to raise my saddle to accommodate the greater knee flexion at the top of the pedal stroke. Yes, at the bottom of the pedal stroke, my seat height is then too high, which creates Achilles problems. Which way is safer for the OP probably depends on whether her knees or her ankles/calves are worse...
