Thanks in advance for any tips
Do you have cherry pit pillows that you can microwave? These things can also be made out of rice (rice packs), and they will do as well.

In the dead of winter, I typically have my mom put a pillow in the microwave, and then throw that into the bottom of the bed. Then you need to put on your fuzzy socks and crawl into bed. It will get warm(er) - although it is *very* difficult to get CRPS feet warm.

Believe me, I know this from experience.

For me, only Neurontin (gabapentin) got the warmth back in. That and calcitonin injections.
