This is not a question I appologize if thats a problem but I just thought I would give out a suggestion that was given to me by my neighbor on a home made heating pad. I have neck and upper back pain due to multi car accidents and when I was 7 was run over by a car so I live with pain alot. The worst is the neck pain. Well my neighbor one day seen me in so much pain and the meds where not helping so she suggested that I take a big bag of white (cheap) rice and put it in a tube sock, tie it off and microwave it for 2 min on high. This is awsome because I do not have to lay down on the bed to use a heating pad even if I owned one, it lays nice on my neck or flattens out if I lay down on it on my spine. So I thought I would share this suggestion for anyone wanting a confortable easily manipulated heating pad.

These do work very nice. I make them out of fun-patterned fabric instead of the tube sock. Just make a rectangular pouch (about 6" by 12"), pour in the rice, and sew up the open end.
