Advantages: soothing for aches and pains

Disadvantages: none

I've just bought a heat pad. Generally aimed at the older person for relief from their musecle ache, my physio recommended I bought one. I suffered from a mild whiplash a few months back, and my shoulder has been intermittently aching since - heat seems to ease it.

I bought the Winterwarm heat pad for 16 pounds from Argos (in the electric blanket section). The pad itself plugs into the wall and has two heat settings. Whilst the heat is not very hot, it is warm enough with a little pressure. Possibly the only disadvantage is that it does not have any weight, so it works better if held for example between shoulder and chair back.

For the purposes which I bought it, it is very effective, it measures 30 x 38cm with a washable fleecy cover.

I've also found that it is good for stomach cramps - wish I'd bought one years ago!
