There called Therma Care packs. They have been out a while but I didn't give them a chance. They don't end it, but on bad days they make it more live
able. Around my knee and neck they are a God sent.
 Hope they
don't cause other problems.

Can you post a picture of the "therma pack" I'm not so bad
right now but by morning I'm going to walking like a snail who need a cane just to get up the basement stairs so I can get to my chair ... I know I'm
going to be paying for it but spending the entire day with my kids and grandkids at the state fair was soooo worth any pain I'll be in later ... I'm
interested in this stuff please tell us a lot more .

They do work for some muscle pain, but honestly, I prefer rice socks- and they're cheaper,too Dorothy, Therma-Care hot packs are kind of like those gel
packs, but they heat up. I used them for a little while when my last microwave died, and I had no way to heat up my rice socks. The rice socks just seem to
penetrate better.But, as with most things, it's a matter of preference.

the therma packs are good for when you can't use the rice packs....they are rather expensive.

I think the therma packs are like an activated charcoal that just gets warm when exposed to air. I used to use the ThermaCare packs when I needed pain relief
at work, the patch can be stuck to your skin or to your clothes, which sometimes makes it more convenient than the rice sock. I use my rice sock now at work
whenever I'm able to sit, the heat and the weight on pressure points really seems to make a difference for me, but then I take narcotic pain meds along
with it.....

I have one saved for emergencies. Like most, I would rather use the cheap alternative when available.
