Could sleeping with a bar of soap help back pain?!

No, that would have no value whatsoever, other than to push on his back and cause a soap indent when he gets up in the morning.

Dad has bad back problems from something else. Can he sleep on a heating pad.? And is he ready for a new bed perhaps.? Does he perform work where he uses his back all day.? He really should have his back evaluated as it is the only one he gets in his lifetime.

He's lucky to have a child who cares about his well being and trying to help with his pain.........

good luck.Health Question & Answer

My family and I swear by this for muscle cramps! Put a bar of Irish Spring in your sheets. It only works for a few weeks, so you have to keep changing the bar. I used it for leg cramps when I was pregnant and my dad uses it for leg cramps, too. Give it a try, it certainly can't hurt.Health Question & Answer
