Heating Pad

[starr1202 38]

I've heard of bringing a heating pad to the hospital. Has anyone used one and has it helped.

I used mine at home after the hospital for awhile, it helped me.

I took one, but I didn't use it. My friend did for her bursitis. Gas-x strips helped a lot.

Lol Yes put it on your tummy to relieve the pain

Yes the heating pad helps wonderfully with abd discomfort and dispelling the gas, but most hospitals won't let you use one while your there; safety issues. I know because I am a nurse.

I used mine in Mexico and I was so grateful for it! I put it on my chest and lower back to help get rid of the gas build-up. At home my back would get sore from lying down so much and it helped a lot.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but couldn't a heating pad promote infection and/or slower healing? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but take the painkillers while you have the excuse.

I don't know about infection, but I do know that the heating pad helped me immensely with gas pain. I had a lot of pain in my shoulder. I used the heating pad there- not so much on the stomach. I agree about the painkillers- if u could use them without side effects (too much nausea and dizziness) DO IT.

I used the heating pad NON STOP for the first four weeks- I had one on my couch- chair- car- bed- and I still use one every once in a while in each place. I never had a bit if infection or any of that business.

That heating pad saved me so many times!

I used it for surgery pain, back pain from having to sleep on my back- I'm a tummy sleeper. As well I use it now for back pain. I lost my weight very quickly and my body is taking its time adjusting, so like I said, I still use the heating pads! I use them to WARM up now because I'm freezing all the time

Happy losing everyone

I'm using my electric blanket right now and it feels soooo good. Cozy and warm

I should have thought of this right after surgery. My back and shoulders hurt a lot after surgery.

Thanks for the info :-)

I used a hot water bottle. The heat soothed the discomfort from surgery and the pressure of it helped the gas
