I use to get Charley horses quite often in my legs and feet and what has help me the most is a bar of soap (open naturally) in my bed between the sheets. My Charles horses cramps have diminish at least 75% of the time. Don`t ask me why it helps but I did read once that for some reason it does help. This was in a Doctor newspaper column.
