My husband uses a heating pad daily; he goes thru at least 2 a year.  The VA supplies his heating pads.

I don't have one and can't remember the last time I used one. I'm pretty much and ice, and RICE guy for injuries, and believe me, I have had aplenty!

I use one all the time and I find with that kind of use they don't last more than a few years.

I really appreciate the soft fluffy pads they have now even in pretty colors.

@Snowpuppy , exactly what I would post.  I use mine in winter to warm up my bed.  LM

Me, either.   Haven't had a heating pad in years.

The idea of putting heat on something that is inflamed seems .....  counter-intuitive to me.

For pain or pulled muscles, I use Salon Pas lidocaine roll on or cream.

The old one I had was Sunbeam brand probably had it for approximately ten years before it quit working....I did buy another one because I find they are good to have for those aches and pains that I have on occasion...

[avid shopper]

Old. Maybe 20 years, Walmart purchase...$9.00.  Certainly a value.

My Sunbeam was old, so, about 5 years ago I bought a nice one from QVC!
