Of course, it actually conforms much better than a bag of ice cubes, or an ice pack.
Hope your back feels better soon.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much more comfy than ice
My chiropractor told me to switch between ice and heat for 15 minutes at a time. Try this, it does help. Sleep on your back, this is better for you especially when your back is hurting.
Yes, many times.I was an EMT for eight years and learned this from experience. The really good thing about using a frozen bag of vegetables or fruits is that they are very easily available and less expensive those frozen ice packs. Just remember even with the regular ice packs to use a barrier between the skin and the cold pack. Leave on for 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off The barrier, such as a washcloth, is used to prevent tissue damage. It was definitely a good idea that you used the cold bags. As you have noticed they are more readily available than the emergency ice packs.
