Has anybody ever tried these heat wraps? I have some but haven't tried 'em yet. It's freezing cold in the office I work in, and that sets me up for extreme muscle aches / spasms...  Please share your experiences with these-they are being advertised a lot more recently, which reminded me I had them tucked away.
Blessings, Sigrid

Sigrid,
From my own personal experience and a guy who can't be without my heating pad at night, I find these to be a very effective temporary solution. They can, however, get rather expensive if you use them every day. I guess my vote would be a thumbs up, but just as a temporary fix.
Best of luck.

Sigrid,
I have not used them, but my husband has used them alot when he refs softball. He has put them on his back or his knee and I think they are suppose to last like 6 or 8 hours.
It might be worth a try,
Lisa

I wore a ThermaCare heat wrap on my back when I flew from NJ to AZ (5 hrs.) and it was fabulous. Still very warm several hours after arrival. I can absolutely recommend this product!

I have tried them and yes they work well to stop the muscle spasms. They also give a bit of protection and support.
However, a word of warning here: The thermoskin brand can produce some irritation. This has happened to me several times. If I tried to use the shoulder support I end up with horrendous sores. The heat that it can generate is too strong for my skin and I break out in a heat rash.
If this is a problem, there is a possible work around, use something like cotton as protection so that the urethane is not near your skin. Otherwise they are very good and I find them excellent in helping with my fingers when they hurt.
Please share your experiences with these-they are being advertised a lot more recently, which reminded me I had them tucked away.

Sigrid, have you tried them yet? I notice a bit of confusion over what you mean. When you talk about heat wraps I normally think of my thermoskins, which are not heated at all, but they provide heat. I forgot all about the Goodes heat wraps because I have no experience with them. On the other hand, I have tried the wheat bags. You can warm these up for a few minutes in the mircowave oven and you can also freeze them  I am wearing my fingerless gloves so that I can type. My keyboard seems to be acting up a bit. I am going to have to spank it to make it behave ;-0 I have changed over the keyboard in the belief that it might be he cause but the same thing is happening ;-)
