Hot Rice Packs

At the beginning of the year and the start of my pain problems I made something that has been a life saver.  I remembered making something like these with my mom years ago and I cannot believe I went this long without making another one.  Anyway, I get these really bad, I mean so bad they thought I had the world's most painful disease muscle spasms in my neck.  The muscle spasms are so bad I am unable to do anything and if I move at all it makes it even worse. 



So, I have these socks full of rice and tied off at the ends.  I put them in the microwave for 30 seconds (watch out they are hot!) And, voila!  I have a portable heating pad.  I re-warm it all the time and I put it all over my head, face and neck.  These rice socks have been a life saver.

 Now, if you want to get fancy you can sew neck warmers for friends or family as gifts.  And, you could go even further and sew each end instead of tie them off.  These rice socks are AMAZING!
