Yes, you should worry about it. All heating pads say don't lie on them. First, to avoid a possible burn, and second, so you don't break the wires that run through them from the weight of your body. If you insist on doing it, make sure it has an automatic shut-off. 


and they don't want you to fall asleep on them and get burned. @Desi

Ice for an acute injury, ice and heat for chronic. Moist heat, like a rice bag is far superior to a heating pad.
