I recently read that soap can be used for leg cramps and restless legs. I have been suffering withmy legs since 2003 immediately after my surgery. The pain started in my thighs and move to my legs. The only way I can describe it is my legs have a raw felling when I am in bed. If I keep them moving that seems to comfort them. My Reheumatology doctor prescribed Fexmide which is a muscle relaxer. It take the edge off of it but does not take it completely away. My Primary Care Physician told me I can not take muscle relaxer long term.
