The heating pad helped me a lot this summer. However, you have to
be careful falling asleep with it. I ended up with a major burn that
blistered and left a large scar. I think I probably got the pad folded
or caught under me somehow.
Of course, they tell you that and of course I ignore any good advice.
At the worst of my problems before surgery this summer, I slept in a
recliner with the heating pad on top of me.
