It helps   01/24/11
Reviewed by:     Location Not Given
 Look hot and cold packs are old hat for a lot of us. Before FM I was a serious long-distnace runner (our Hood-to-Coast team finished 50th in 2002) and I learned the value of hot and cold. They help, their cheap, their side effects are minimal (though has anyone else ever caused their muscles and skin to register "burn" level pain when it shouldn't...or is that just me?). Use what works....but do not over do it!

 Hot packs or a heating pad really help with my pain. I have burned myself falling asleep with it but the area where I use it usualy is low pain. downside is the pain returns soon after.

heating pad   10/07/08

 I find that using a heating pad on my hips helps relieve some pain. I don't sleep with it on, of course, but it sure helps in the day time.

My heating pad is my friend..   03/17/07
Reviewed by:     Florida, USA
 The warmer I am the less pain I have. If I could keep a heating pad on all the time I would. The only downfall is you can't sleep with it on. The microwave versions get cold too quick. Come on technology help me out.. Give me a life again..

So Simple   08/12/05
Reviewed by:     Monterey Coast, California, USA
 I purchased and herb filled heat pack ($20 or less in cost) - when I have pain in a specific area or can't sleep - it's one of the very first things I use. It heats up in the microwave and the smell of the herbs is very relaxing. When any part of my body is in distress I place the pack there and rest, often it will help me to fall sleep. The results are within 30 - 40 minutes, worth having one!
