Re: near-miraculous pain relief for me

[Guest guest]

I am so relieved you found some help for the pain. The desk is my

particular pain place. I also have my heating pad tied to my tummy

with flannel straps I added to the case the pad is in. I have an

extension cord on it so I can make it to the front door. It might look

odd but anything for the help!

Careful about burns, OK? Promise?

Hugs, Jeanne B in GA

Thank you, Jeanne!! I also look rather odd walking around in my " get-up " ,

but I agree, anything to help the pain!! I currently have mine on an

extension cord, also, but they also come with 8ft or 10ft cords each, so I

can move around pretty freely in them--I just can't get to the kitchen or

bathroom or my bedroom in them, so I have to take them off if I have to go

to one of those places (which I do often, unfortunately).

And yes, I promise, I am being VERY careful about burns!! I pay attention

to how hot they get, and I keep them on the settings that are effective but

not too hot. If they get too hot, I turn them to a lower setting. Plus,

with the automatic self-turn-off after 2 hours, that really helps keep me

from being burned (especially when I use them at night when I go to bed).

Thank you again for your support and for your response!!

I always put a silk type fabric between the heating pad and my skin and my

heating pad has a shut off.

There are heat wraps that can be put in microwave and reusable and moist heating

pads.

http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8 & node=3763861

They have many listed online under heat wraps. I also do well with heat and have

the microwavable one.

I also have put rice in a sock and heat it up but btake care. Bennie
