Another thing that is available as a "heat pack" is "The
Original Bed Buddy".  It is a Microwave Heat-Pack,  a
cloth bag that is filled with beads of something that
become warm in the microwave.

Just pop it into the microwave for 2-3 minutes
(depending on how much heat you want).  Because it is so
flexible it fits the contour of the sore area for
maximum benefit.

The name of the company is not on the Bed Buddy so can
not help you there.  All I know is it works quite well.

Subject: Rigidity/Cramps Relief


My wife has rigidity or cramps occasionally. We
purchased rubber ice
bags from the pharmacy.These are not recommended for hot
applications
but I fill it with hot water as hot as comfortable.
Placing it at the
back of the neck releves the problem. I also use the
same technique by
placing the bag under the back of the knee that is
shaking to help stop
tremors when she is off. You will be very pleased with
how this works
and how you can literally switch off the problem. The
bags are also
great to bring with you in a car if you are taking her
someplace and she
begins to be uncomfortable
