I have an herbal
heat pad (my best friend), and I sleep on a plug in
heat pad. I LOVE
heat. Ice has been suggested to me, but I feel like that just makes me cold and cranp up, so I don't like to use it.
The Doctor I work for recently told me that too much heat can actually cause the inflammatory process to worsen. I am going to ask my PM doc about this the next time I go in, but has anyone heard of this? Do you you a lot of heat for pain?
