Last few years I have terrible leg and groin cramps at night.Get up hobbled in pain.Doctor took test and told me they were normal.I eat bananas,Mag,Iron,all kinds of suggest meds.None helped.I was telling My neighbor about the problem and She looked at me and said put a bar a white soap under the sheets.I started laughing and told Her your kidding.She said no and her husband told me it works and they both have a bar of white soap under their sheets.Look up on Google"Bar of soap under your sheets" I did and well thought i would try it.The first 3 days some improvement I had Irish Spring soap in the house so used that.Monday I put a bar of Ivory under the sheets.Monday night 2 minor cramps,Tuesday night not one single cramp.I know this sounds stupid but it works for me.If you are having leg cramps at night do yourself a favor and stick a bar of ivory under the sheets.Last night I had 6 hours of pretty good sleep.Works for me.

I know it sound stupid but believe me it works.Unless you have had or are having them you do not have a clue.The pain is almost unbearable.I put this on here so that it can be passed on to the poor souls that suffer this pain every night.I also thought it was stupid until my friend told me His Mom did it and it worked.Neighbors do it and it works.i did it and it works.I can not ask for more then that.IT WORKED for me.

cedar oil works better
If it will work on back/leg pain,I’ll put 2 bars under my sheets.

I have foot cramps…might try that. Seems like there is a correlation to the amt of water I drink too. More water = fewer cramps.

Cedar oil is what i use on my dogs.2 drops every week.No fleas and they smell good all week.I have it in the boat works great on gnats.

It is easy to knock something so stupid as a bar of soap under your sheets.LOL I had to agree until my neighbor told me he and the wife do it.Then friend said his mother does it and it works.OK I did it and it works.Nothing more to say!!

The stuff works. I drink it during the summer months to help keep me hydrated. You can get it at BI-LO

I can’t wait to hear what they recommend when you tell them you’re having prostate trouble.
Are you well hydrated? You should have at LEAST one piss a day where your urine is clear (as in not yellow) like water…
I know a guy who swears by cactus juice, not the distilled variety.
How many bars of soap do you think it would take to cure the pain in the ass that sleeps next to me? She is “cramping” my style.
oh, I am going to pay for that one.

Hmm wonder if that might work with my son who is waking up every other night crying with his legs. At his age (3) it is called growing pains. SO the soap goes between the sheet & the matress at any loaction??
If it works, how about just smearing a little liquid Ivory on the calf muscle before bed? Just a little dab, so your bed isn’t lumpy! There are a lot of old timey things that have been found to be valid! How many of you remember hearing that if you let a dog lick a cut, it would heal faster? There is some suggestion, that it works!
I try and pass on a lot of health stuff.I am 78 and still moving pretty good.U young guys have no clue what happens when you hit about 63.Better get a Colonoscopy around age 45.Finger wave to check the ole prostate and get a PSA number.I was a First Sgt of a HQ Battalion and Had a Doctor that was a perfect health nut.He ran every day and as he passed my desk on the way out told me to get up and run with him.I said hell no i have work to do.Well after months of this they called me one day and said"They found Doc dead on the side of the road" Later found out he had a heart attack.He at the time was 41.Had another major that did that and got hit by a bus and killed nasty.I do not run.LOL
