Default Yep. It's crazy but it works.

I have unfortunately broken bones in both of my wrists (luckily, at different times) over the last five years. One of the worst parts of the recovery process was at night when all was quiet and I would notice that my arm was hurting, mainly because it was impossible to find a comfortable position for it. My friend in Louisiana told me about the bar of soap. I use curved bars of soap so I put one in a knee high thin sock, cupped my hand around the bar of soap and sock, and wrapped the sock around my wrist to hold it all in place. It's amazing! It works! I don't care if it is psychological; I didn't need to take drugs and it wasn't a replacement for any medical care.

I also have restless legs if I have spent a large amount of my day on my feet. I'll try the soap again and let you know what the outcome is.
