Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Do you put the sock in the microwave dry? Or do you wet it? It sounds like a great idea. Thanks, Debra V. jeribelle2000 wrote: Maybe you all use this already, but for some newly diagnosed, it might be a new suggestion. My all-time favorite soothing heat-pack is a clean, old tube sock (or you can devise any manner of hand-made fabric pretty packs). I fill it with dry rice, re-useable, and tie a knot in the end to keep the rice inside. I like the aroma of Jasmine rice, personally. Put enough rice inside to fill the sock, but not too much, so as to keep it pliable, as you will enjoy draping it around your aching body parts. Now, just put the rice-sock into your microwave on high for 1/2 to 1 minute; you'll have to experiment on what time works best for your size rice bag and your own microwave's power. Drape that puppy over your painful wherever and enjoy 20-30 minutes of wonderful heat. It will conform to your neck, back (you can lay on it too), ankles, anywhere. Feels soooo good. Think now that I'm back on land I need to put rice on my grocery list and steal one of DH's tube socks! girlsaylor --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
