Are You Deaf, Serena?
... The “acute spasm-induced strain” of the muscle was the worst pain Serena [Williams, at Wimbledon] said she could recall on court. She barely moved on Hantuchova’s next service attempt, an ace. Williams won her own serve with the aid of a clinching ace herself, but soon trailed 4-2 in the second-set tiebreaker.
As rain began to fall, father Richard Williams stood and shouted for officials to suspend play. Serena stood at the service line but did not move to serve. Officials suspended the match at 5:36 p.m. London time.
The nearly two-hour rain interruption bought crucial time. Serena received treatment on the muscle, and returned to court wearing white leg warmers.
Did I not, just last week*, advise everyone to put a bar of Ivory Soap at the foot of their bed to eliminate leg pain?

Again--
I'll need a scientific reference from a peer reviewed journal please?
I believe it. Because Zed said it. She knows.
The world would be a much better place if everyone listened to Zed.
You sold me! I'll buy a few bars on the way home.
Doctor Mom, I put a new bar of Ivory at the foot of the bed last night and slept like a baby. After one year of severe, crippling pain, the moment I used the soap, the pain and cramping left. That's all the scientific reference I need.
But, go check out "leg pain leg cramps soap" in Google--there's something like 78 pages' worth and 1000+ references to the soap method. Here's just one: http://tinyurl.com/2ohm72
And if only poor Serena had listened.
Dick, you're the best! You're a wise man for accepting the truth. I'll send you a bar of soap.
Mr. Fab! Yea! If everyone would only listen--well, I am often reminded of the Beatles song in reference to my helping abilities:
"Look at all the people, living life in peace."
Chris, you'll see it works. And then you'll send me money.
:)
I fear the soap would only get kicked out of bed.
Lynda, put it under the bottom sheet. It still works.
Your soap trick has done me a world of good. You are so wise.
Thank you, Peter. And you are so loving.
It helps if one uses a 200lb bar of soap under ones Zedbed.
Haha! Thanks, Sans!
Some might think the tilt of the bed--so the feet are up and the head is down--is a problem. But no. Blood rushing to the brain makes one SMARTER. Haven't you all noticed the difference in me, pre-soap vs. post-soap?
I tried the ivory soap!! I still have nerve pain and achiness but I havent had a leg or foot cramp since I started sleeping with the soap. It does do something, and I am VERY happy. Do have any advice on what I can sleep with to bring my blood sugar levels down?? :)
Mel, I am SO happy that your leg cramps have stopped by using the soap at the foot of the bed. It makes no sense whatsoever WHY it works, but I'm just happy that it does!
Yippee!!
