Thank you for sharing this information. I’m sorry for your pain - I go through periods of numbness from my neck to finger tips and also my hips to legs. They couldn’t figure out what was causing it. They did perform an elecgromyography but didn’t show issues. I have chronic neck and shoulder pain - they tried to do a cortisone injection but the discs in my neck were to close together (due to bulging) that they were not able to insert the needle. Appreciate information since it described what I experienced. Heat definately helps!! Love my heating pads. Best of luck and hope you feel better soon.

When looking back on my ordeal, heat was great and knowing what I do now I would have used it more. If you need a good nights sleep then get one or two hot water bottles. I used them all day. My period of pan was just under six months. It did straight after two weeks easy living in on Miami beech. I just want to send my dearest sympathy to anyone going through this as no one really can understand the pain.

Another thing I found extremely helpful was a product called Thermacare Heat Wraps...they are made for neck, back, knees, etc. They are air activated and have adhesive to apply to your body. They last from 8-12 hours - best part you can conceal them under your clothing during the day or leave them on at night and no cords. They are really helpful - you can’t control the heat level but I have found them to be very helpful and convenient to use when I can’t apply a heating pad or plug one in..sleeping is much easier with them on instead of plugging in my heating pad. Hope this is helpful.
