I feel your pain. You need to alternate hot wet compress then cold wet compress. For a hot wet compress, I use a diaper and get it wet then put it in the microwave. This will stay warm for a while.You can also use a wet towel. Then use ice packs. Heating pads are dry heat and are not good. I have a bad lower back that when I lift wrong it goes out and the pain just kills me. Good Luck to you and I hope this will help. |
