Heating pads: now over the years ive tried about everyone out there and those wires inside, the stiff plastic'ness ( new word lol) and even the cord would hurt me.

This past Christmas I was given one of those heavy glass pyrex baking dish ( God knows i dont trust myself using that lol) BUT it came with a cover AND this big gel pad, this gel pad can be heated in the microwave to keep yrour food warm! omgosh, it works great for me and my deep pain areas! That gel pad has been the best gift ive ever got. now of course you could freeze this thing too but ACKKKK no cold, big no no there!

I ended up giving the dish to a friend, without the gel pad and even priced them at the store in case i ever need another one, and they are wicked cheap, so i bought another one :D Those thermowraps are okay but when their done, their done and they are not cheap. Gel pads are the way to go, well aata least in my opinion :o

happy daze everyone,
Dee :grouphug:

Wow! I just tried one of these!! They work great! Thanks!

My doc suggested taking a hand towel and getting it wet, squeezing all the water out, and microwaving until hot. Then put it inside a plastic ziploc and lean against it. It provides that moist heat we crave without the danger of the electric pads. I also have two other heating pads that follow me everywhere I go.
Wish you the best!!
