Having problems with message search?
Hi Candle,
Well that's a new one (heating pad burns) but if circulation is the problem, you might try using an aspirin cream in the area of treatment. Just prior to putting the heat to the area. Some way of opening up the veins to better blood flow. Even Icey-Hot might help there but oh the lovely scent. You'll smell like a softball player who is over 40 but trying to play with young guys in their 20's. (Like I did 10 years ago)

Does anyone else have to deal with heating pad burns? I need the heating pad to help "thaw" my joints to help me move. Sometimes, not always, they heating pad gives me a burn where my skin is red and will end up pealing. It doesn't hurt when it happens and I try to limit my exposure, but it still occurs. I'm sure it is due to the poor circulation. Can anyone give me advice about what I could do to improve my situation and prevent burns. I know I could stop using it, but then couldn't move.
